this guy is rapidly becoming my favorite songwriter of the past 15 years. i thought that ryan adams was prolific, but pouring through BPB's collection i have found that he has put out so many great albums with different bands as well as his own releases. he approaches both ends of the spectrum from having some ridiculously heartwrenching lyrics (Love Comes to Me from "The Letting Go") accompanied by simple guitar to kick you in the ass anthmic semi rock songs like My Home is the Sea from Superwolf.

he has a lot of good stuff, but its not for everyone. except for My Home is the Sea. everyone needs to hear that song.

thats it.

Also some ridiculously hardcore lyrics: "I'll hold his arms, you fuck him. Fuck him with something. The fuck, he deserves it."

Totally wrong board but I attribute that to perhaps your drunkenness. Only BPB I have is Summer in the Southeast; however, Master and Everyone may well be one of my favorite songs of all time. The addition of electric guitars and speeding up of the song at the end during this performance really makes it an outstanding take.

there was originally just one board for "entertainment". this thread got started back then, before the split for music/tv & movies. and then I see a darkness.

He was good in Matewan...

I listened to one of his albums. Or tried is probably a better word.
