The other day the men and women of NPR's All Songs Considered posted a podcast discussing the greatest opening tracks in music history. Bob Boilen mentioned the idea that often the first track on a record is so good that you don't even get to listen to the rest of the album because you just listen to that track over and over again. This problem arose just this morning when I started listening to Damien Jurado's Saint Bartlett. It's actually pretty funny because I think every Damien Jurado album I have listened to has a brilliant opening track and this one is no different. I just can not stop listening to "Cloudy Shoes." I hope the rest of the album is as good as the opener, which I really enjoy and I hope you do as well.
