I’m sorry… but the opening track, “ Growing Pain” is the best song on that album. The rest are also great, but Growing Pain is #1. I’ve seen Wolf many, many times and he puts on a great show EVERY time. Plus his band is fantastic.
I thought the two straight blues guitarists was going to be too much, but they had such different styles and for the most part they maintained a 1 telecaster-1 Les Paul ratio on stage and it was perfect. PW’s energy was infectious.
I was genuinely surprised to read that Wolf was still recording long after the "Come As You Are" era. I cued Sleepless up and was pleasantly surprised. Not sure what I was expecting, but I certainly wasn't disappointed.
That three album run of Fool's Parade - Sleepless - Midnight Souvenirs is really solid. I'm not sure why Midnight Souvenirs is unavailable on Spotify but "Overnight Lows" is an incredibly soulful Woofa Goofa performance. It's truly a lost classic:
Just to clarify - Ken & I have way more than 1,000 Kart races under our collective belts - that's just the current online record. He's the undisputed king of Wii Kart and I'm the leader in Switch Kart. Team Donkey Kong 4EVA!
Speaking of bogarting microphones, nothing can ever compare to what Keith Richards did to poor Norah Jones on this lovely cover of Gram's Love Hurts.
