Seriousy this needs to be the offical anthem of those opposing the Orange POS

Unbelievable song. Hold on to your seats. Beth Hart's emotion certainly expresses how I'm feeling about the scum slithering around the White House

Her masterpiece CD ... Beth and Joe's band DEFINITELY do it justice though ... some cool little changes to it ... I like both, but it's Lucinda's song in my book ... just sayin'

But ... since I've been listening to Lucinda's version (the original) for 23 years ... nothing can top it. BTW, since you've apparently never heard Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, I HIGHLY recommend it. One of those 'every song is great', 'Top 500 All-Time' kind of CD's. Not kidding

Awesome cover though, I like the subtle changes, awesome playing and sound quality, phenomenal vocals. Good stuff!

I just did a fast minute on each of the tracks. Smiling all the way. Starting the playlist over.

After like ... I dunno, probably 300 times I've heard it, and knowing every word to every song by heart, my favorites are Lake Charles & the closing track Jackson. Lake Charles is about a friend who took his life, but it's not super-obvious til you really listen to it. Took me a while to decide how much I loved it, but in the end ... yeah. It makes me cry when I sing along sometimes. Really a brilliant song.

And Jackson is just ... so simple, but so beautiful and easy to relate to.

But every song is great, IMO, and it's not front-loaded ... a lot of the best ones (like Joy) are towards the end.

Enjoy!

doesn't have the same hard edge as Beth's versions. Beth's anger really expresses how I'm feeling the present situation.

But she did write it ... and 'Car Wheels' is an absolute masterpiece. 'Joy' is maybe the 8th best song on it ... just sayin'.

I definitely dig this cover, these guys KILL IT no doubt ... but nothing can replace the original I've listened to for 23 years ... you understand
