I've been listening and enjoying the hell out of it ever since. With so MUCH vapid pap, utterly unremarkable and emotionaless drek, pretentious (and talentless) grunge (yes, I'm talking about Lord Cobain here, sorry, but he was not a "genius"), and other unremarkable insults to rock and roll over the past 25 years, it was and remains a joy to know that someone, Charlie Pickett, that some few, the guys that played with him, Got It. <br /><br />Mojo Nixon rightfully shouted it at Don Henley, but it applies equally to 99.9% of all the excrement that's come out of recording studios over the past 20-30 years: "You and your kind are killing rock-and-roll. It ain't because you're o*l*d, it's cause you ain't got no soul!"<br /><br />In his heyday Charlie Pickett had soul, along with raunchy, chunky, guitar-playing talent, along with imagination and wit and snark in his songwriting. I'd like to believe he still does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291941374680297943.post-88636278275164415362010-04-25T11:03:40.406-05:002010-04-25T11:03:40.406-05:00Dear Mike:
