Another straight {|country|} set, but unlike {|Sweet Revenge|}, this is a sleepy-town stroll, featuring snappy accompaniment by the {|New Grass Revival|}. After the terrific opening take on {|the Carter Family|} classic {|Lulu Walls,|} the record glides along at a gentle tempo, yielding the clever {|Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian|} and one classic {|ballad|}, {|Speed of the Sound of Loneliness,|} which was cut in a superb rendition by {|Nanci Griffith|} for her {|Other Voices, Other Rooms|} project. It also features {|Linda Goes to Mars|} and a re-recording of {|Paradise|} from {|Prine|}'s debut. ~ John Floyd & Jim Smith Less
