myboyblue Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 It's definitely a keeper. I picked this up when it came out and it has had many spins despite the heavy amount of new music I've picked up recently. I highly recommend. Great summer album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardwood floor Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Steve Wynn is a fucking genius. This was a really tough project to pull off without sounding hackneyed and trite. But these guys have done it. And it seems like Steve is getting more pub for this than all his dream syndicate, gutterball and solo stuff. Hopefully, people hear this and go out and buy his earlier stuff, which is almost uniformly brilliant. Tell me when it's Over may be the best song ever. If not, maybe it's When you Make up your Mind. Or maybe As it Should Be? You can't buy a Steve Wynn record and not totally dig it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I picked this up last weekend and have been listening since. Anyone who likes baseball and music MUST pick this up. The lyrics are intereting, informative and entertaining, and the music is mostly great. Definitely one of my faves of the year. Just the song titles might make someone want to get it...."Ted Fucking Williams", "Some Days I Dream of Willie Mays", "Satchel Paige Said", "The Yankee Flipper", "Jackie's Lament".... If only this had been around when Ken Burns made his PBS baseball documentary....Scott McCaughey and Steve Wynn may have made a few extra bucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
