Review by Tomasz W.★★★★Sample

the sequencing here is criminally underrated. “When I Was a Cowboy” into the next one?? come on.

Overhyped? Maybe. Did I still cry at “When I Was a Cowboy”? Also maybe.

Good album to do dishes to. Great album to stare at the ceiling to.

Solid, but I keep skipping “When I Was a Cowboy”. Sorry Lead Belly.
