"And if the women were squirrels, with them high bushy tails. I'd fill up my shotgun, with rocks, salt, and nails."
Lines like this left me not knowing which way to turn. I wasn't sure if it was naked honesty from a guy who was so willing to be honest both about how that felt and describing it as he really would versus how people would be more apt to accept it.
Or. If it was a young guy who was trying to sound more authentic or more..."country"? More hillbilly? Something.
I finally decided it was the former. Only a young guy or a much older person can write lines like that. Because youth affords you a certain level of naivete and age gives you enough perspective to not care whether or not people think it sounds sophisticated or too simplistic. I am surprised he is resonating the way he is. But I'm enjoying it.

Enjoying this at work right now.
I don't know if I'm there yet, but I dang sure enjoy the last couple Turnpike records more than Jason's and by a pretty wide margin. Like you said, they keep getting better.Iowan wrote:https://m.soundcloud.com/thirtytigers/t ... re/s-jDv0M
Turnpike Troubadours "The Housefire". First track off the new album (features the titular line).
These guys just keep getting better. I have half a mind to get drunk, stand on Isbell's coffee table, and tell him Evan Felker is the best songwriter around.
