I must admit, this record was one of those holy grail things that make digging through piles of stinky shitty records occasionally worthwhile. I don't even know how to begin describing this. A child's dream of what rock and roll would sound like? Bizarre production, saxophone soloing, digital fills. It's all there, laying beneath beautiful poetry sung by the voice of an angel.
In reality, this is just a shitty record but I really love it and spend a lot of time trying to imagine exactly how this got created the way it did. Maybe someone out there will understand the appeal...
I put the mp3s backwards because the B side is better than the A side.
Finished another mix. This one is a bit mellower than the last two. Maybe you could start your day with this? You could listen to it as you walk around or while enjoying relaxation as well. I would also recommend listening to this while on a long drive.

Let's see... Bad racist sherrif, "motorcycle" gang, The Black Barron (A black dude flying one of those old timey planes where you are just sitting there getting bugs in your mouth), lots of in-cab shots of Gary Busey driving a tricked out truck. It's a must watch!
