Notes: It's nearly impossible to find any information on this album other than the incredibly long description that takes up the entire back of the vinyl cover which I'm immensely too lazy to type out, I've already been searching for two hours so I give up. Mike just happened to be playing this on the overhead when I walked into Wall of Sound earlier this morning and I knew I had to have it immediately, especially given my unusual upbeat mood and being the bright and sunny half-brisk day it is. It's running down the Appalachian Mountains kinda music, sit in a rocking chair on your front porch and drink sweet tea while playing Chess and whittling kinda music, drown yourself in barrels of whiskey while in a junkyard or field with abandoned cars on a hot day kinda music, throw rocks at trains while skip skappin' jamblin' kinda music, etc. Just fucking listen to it.
