Certain Songs: All The Albums I've Loved Before: "Amorica"

All The Albums I've Loved Before: "Amorica"

With the Black Crowes releasing their first new LP in years this week, I have been reminded just how much I loved those first three records. I wore them out. And of those
initial releases, I always thought 'Amorica' was SO underrated.

And after spending the last hour or so listening to it for the first time in years, I stand by my original assessment. A great record from start to finish. I thought I would pass along two of my favorite tracks, vintage Robinson brothers.

I agree totally--apart from the underrated thing. From where i come from everyone knew it was great right from the go, and among Crowes fans everyone knows it's really great.

Those are my two most favorite tracks also!!!

What I'd like is... a Brothers of a Feather whole acoustic Amorica. I've heard Wiser Time (on Letterman) and Nonfiction (see youtube...) and they're both haunting me...

Mission Statement

I guess you're old enough to know.
Kids out on the east coast.
Roughly twenty years old.
Got coaxed out by a certain perfect ratio.
Of warm beer to the summer smoke.
And the meat loaf to the billy joel.
Certain songs they get so scratched into our souls.

She goes low on the seats when she gets high in her car.
She looks shallow but shes neck deep in the steamy dreams of the guys along the harbor bars.
She's pulling out her shirttails and jacking up her socks.
Stern and stoned and confident, coming up towards the jukebox.
Born into the only songs that everybody finally sings along.
B-1 is for the good girls.
It's only the good die young.
C-9 is for the making eyes.
It's paradise by the dashboard light.
D4 is for the lovers.
B12 is for the speeders.
And the hard drugs are for the bartenders and the kitchen workers and the bartender's friends.
And they're playing it again.
Ellen Foley gives us hope.
Certain songs they get scratched into our souls.

I guess you're old enough to know.
Kids out on the west coast are taking off their clothes.
Screwing in the surf and going out to shows.
They get high and ride around in gtos.
I guess you're old enough to know.
CERTAIN SONGS THEY GET SCRATCHED INTO OUR SOULS.
- The Hold Steady
