4.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but by the "She Came Along to Me" ep instead!, June 9, 2000
This review is from: Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key (Audio CD)
"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.

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.
