Four Songs! Two Sides! and Even Fewer Chords, as JRO rips straight on through "Forty Foot Elvis" (now why can't THIS star in the very next Nicolas Cage classic?!!), "She's A Burnout" (a lo-fat, lo-fi, ultra-low-riding Riff Randler if ever there was one), "Sunday Morning" (speed this particular sucka up a notch or twelve, add another half-dozen grease-soaked Telecasters, and you've actually got no less than the Great Lost Teenage Head B-side!), and "Bisquitland" (yessir, the late, extremely great Flat Duo Jets shall NEVER ever die, so long as this great dane of a song rings off of your turntable).

Coat each and every one of these tunes with the dulcet vocal tones of George Thorogood losing a knife-fight to Lux Interior and you've got yet another surefire anti-hit from one of the few true blue-ridged rock'n'rollers left on the planet --his on-going Gwyneth Paltrow obsession notwithstanding. I think.
