I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats: All Hail West Texas

by Various Artists

supported by

Chronically Truant Look this album is great and this project was so cool but I'll never not be disappointed by the cover of Jeff Davis County Blues. Rest is incredible though.

Lilith's Heir Like most compilations it's a bit of a mixed bag - some are incredible (Source Decay, The Mess Inside, Fall, Balance), some are good/faithful to the original but don't really 'pop' for me, and some take the track in a direction I either didn't enjoy or didn't understand (Jeff Davis County Blues).

In any event it's nice to see some different explorations of a classic album, and I'm very happy to help support this project! Favorite track: Source Decay.

marxalot "Blues in Dallas" will end you.

about

the Mountain Goats Durham, North Carolina

John Darnielle has written almost 600 songs now, and some of them are very sad, dealing with hard drugs and tragic ends, hurting yourself and others, sicknesses of both body and brain, off-brand alcohols. They are told in beautiful, unnerving, specific detail because he is a very good writer, and also some of them are just true stories about his own life.
—John Hodgman, 2012 ... more

Spooky as HELL AND LOVING IT And I love that they included different actors playing the poor doomed intern...It just comes to show how the very same script is unique in every performance and every single person on the role MarlaHectic
