Twelfth album with Tom hooking up with the Heartbreakers and their first together in 8 years. Debuted at #2 on the U.S. charts, so I guess they haven't lost their mojo. Just so-so for me, barely cracking the buy list. Looks like I Should Have Known It is the first single which was one of my least favorite, but what do I know? Not much I admit. A lot of bluesy type stuff here, which is to be expected I guess. It's not that this isn't good stuff, just sound like it's all been done before.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Takin' My Time

Best Track - U.S. 41

My daddy came a marchin’
Over the hill at dawn
Had to make that wage man
That’s how we got along
My daddy’s life was workin’
Workin’ all day long
Put food on the table
And the children sang a song
Yes, the children sang a song
My grandad’s name was pulpwood
Wore a coat of green
Took a wife in ‘31
Drove the big machine
My daddy load the lumber
Put it on the truck
Used to see him walkin’ home on U.S. 41
That’s right, U.S. 41
All my life’s been workin’
Out the door and gone
Got to make that overtime
Keep us movin’ on
Need a drink of water
To get out of the sun
Burnin’ up to make that wage on U.S. 41
That’s right, U.S. 41
The boss man owns the business
Keeps it goin’ strong
Be blowin’ like a hurricane and
Work like nothin’s wrong
We got to keep on movin’
‘til the bell gone ring
Fill her up with kerosene
And let that lady sing
Whoa now, let that lady sing
His given name was Lucky
His wife’s name Annie Brown
Run outside the law
And they chased him right on down
Lucky faced the lawman
The captain drew his gun
They put him with a sling blade
On U.S. 41
That’s right, U.S. 41
