I know the track that the title abbreviates but is certainly not sharing the name of
Yes I worded it like that with a purpose, which is completely lost with me now addressing any potential reader directly as I just have. Ha! Expectations ruined.
I was hanging out with my dad yesterday morning drinking coffee getting ready for the day and he put on a performance of Guthrie. I was intrigued. His voice was a similar register as Jerry Garica but he has a more nasal sound like Dylan (Guthrie being much easier to understand) and he pronounces “Wh” in a way that I associate with Stewie from Family Guy.
I thought this album was alright. The title track is obviously the big draw. The last track is catchy. I feel there was a lot of experimentation on this album. Trying to see what works for him. I don’t know his catalog at all. I may dig in further but will probably not binge his catalog.
