4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but by the "She Came Along to Me" ep instead!, June 9, 2000

"Bugeye Jim" is another sad, resonator guitar track sonically similar to "Black Wind Blowing" or "Eisler on the Go" -- spooky, poetic.

"My 30,000" is a full-band romp blasting the KKK. Also fun.

I would suggest, though, that you buy the "She Came Along to Me" ep instead because it contains BOTH of the afforementioned songs, PLUS two other tracks:

If you loved both of the "Marmaid Avenue" CDs, then you should get the "She Came Along to Me" ep -- if only for the beautiful accoustic version of "At My Window Sad and Lonely." I wish this version had been on the album instead!

The live version of "California Stars" is alright too, with a different spin taken on the song later on -- more rock instead of folk.

Buy it before it goes out of print.

3.0 out of 5 stars one gem of two, December 16, 1999

billy bragg's 'bugeye jim' is a keeper. billy's voice and the spare acoustic guitar sound makes this track a partner to 'eisler on the go' from the lp. unless you're really into this album, a billy bragg fan, or think that 'eisler on the go' was the best song on the album, you should save up for something else.
