Well, let's get this over with.
Again, never been a huge country fan. This is classified as "Country Rock", so I figured it would sound like Johnny Cash. It didn't. It sounded like country. Do not want.
The Album is interestingly laid out. It turns into a live Album halfway, then back to a studio Album. It's a pretty interesting concept that I haven't heard so far.
The Album gets good near the end.
Tips to Parsons for some of my favourite country lyrics:
"Well, the Queen of Spades is a friend of mine
The Queen of Hearts is a bitch
Someday when I clean up my mind
I'll find out which is which"
The Queen of Hearts is a bitch
Someday when I clean up my mind
I'll find out which is which"
Haha, that's awesome.
