My local alternative radio stattion has been spinning this track for a few weeks now, and it grabs my attention every time I hear it come on. The snaky acoustic slide guitar backbone immediately reminded me of early-era Beck and/or Violent Femmes with a touch of Bloodhound Gang thrown in for good measure, but repeated listenings have revealed this to be less derivative than I first thought. The lyrics are nothing but stone blues, a hard-luck tale of confronting life's difficult realities.

It's catchy and refreshing, especially in today's played-out alternative market. Recommended.

I did not want to purchse the entire CD, so I found the song I liked and purchased just this song. I like to make good personalized CD's and needed this song. Would recommend this song.

This is song is so much fun, and a little naughty. Still there's enough truth in the message to actually make you think, even with the infectious melody and fun and world-worn vocals. I really recommend it.
