This is about all I listened to in the first half of 1996. I was living in an apartment the size of my bathroom, but on the coolest block in the Village. I played this again and again and again (and again). Thanks to Bill and his request for a dub of this gem of an album (and Son Volt’s shoddy follow-up, “Straightaways,” and their very-good-but-not-great final album “Wide Swing Tremelo”) I’m remembering just how perfect this one is.
