Listening To Honky Tonk Union

This week I created a Tempe music playlist - largely because it's a hassle to continually go through the file system, to find what I want to listen to. And constantly change albums when one finishes. Load 'em all up in a playlist, and put them on shuffle. Which I did this weekend, awesome. Hours and hours of great tunes constantly playing.

It dawned on me that I was missing Honky Tonk Union. I added that to my hard disk today, largely so that Catherine could listen to it, but it served a double purpose, because I was thinking of doing it yesterday. Man, it's been so long since I've listened to Honky Tonk Union.

The songs themselves, no - I've been listening to them all the time listening to the live shows over the last 5 years, but it's been forever since I've listened to the album. It's so painfully obvious, because it all sounds SO different. I'm so accustomed to the live versions, that it's been totally unfamilar listening to the album versions. Definately interesting.

Also listening to Honky Tonk is so much easier these days, as previously mentioned, but I can also say that the later stuff is so much better. Going back to Honky Tonk I can also really hear how far the band has progressed - I totally know that they have, but literally listening to Honk Tonk Union, can hear how green and young (yes, verses Green and Dumb [wink] ) the band was back then. Which is funny, being around for the whole formation of the band - and at the time it was a life post The Refreshments, it's kinda strange to hear the Peacemakers as young and naive.
