Cool Song

Back in the early eighties I worked in downtown Manhattan and often spent my lunch hour hanging around the J&R Music store across Park Row from City Hall. Whether I actually bought anything or not was entirely beside the point, because their staff had the greatest taste in picking stuff to play in-store. It was there that I first heard REM, Los Lobos, the Replacements, and lots more-- including this record by the Long Ryders. In fact I still remember going over to the counter to examine the sleeve. The rest of the ep turned out to be pretty great too!
