your left hand in my backpocket



june carter's got nothing on this young lady. she's been singing w/her family("one way rider") since she was knee-high to a palmetto bug(just like june & the carters). crystal clear voice & a catchy song. her first album, "with blasphemy so heartfelt," is available everywhere & has five or six more songs that ring true & clear. i first heard this song as a cover by the avett brothers. i've got mixed feeling about them, the hick bohemian thing is problematic for me but their song, "if it's the beaches" is a lovely thing. they do ok by ms. mayfield but, as usual, the original is where you want to be.

this reminds me of something you'd find scrawled on a schoolhouse wall. this is a post-millenium angel singing us all away. if her face doesn't destroy you(that's what angel faces do, btw)the song itself should. if the guys don't get we're pretty much dispensable at this point, we'll be jacking-off into eternity. but ms. mayfield puts it so much prettier that that, doesn't she, guys?

if you can get past the nose piercing, your home free.

& mark, if this doesn't remind you of jaynie, you ain't gotta memory.

enjoy.
