| 28. "Scratching These Walls With Some Old Barbed Wire... |
|
Edited on Thu Mar-04-10 12:56 PM by Beetwasher
Whatever it takes to make the dirt stick"- Chris Whitley
One of my top five albums of all time. Every song, hauntingly beautiful and perfecly crafted. Glad to see someone else who has heard and appreciates this album. It's such a hidden treasure. As far as New York..."Last Great American Whale" makes me choke up with tears every time I listen to it, same with "Halloween Parade"...the you laugh and smile at "Beginning of a Great Adventure" and "Hold On". Man, just perfect. Perfectly perfect from beginning to end. Also top five album for me. "It's like my painter friend Donald said to me, stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, their done..." "I'll take Mahattan in a garbarge bag with Latin written on it that says 'it's hard to give a shit these days'"  |
