Heartstring-Tugging Blue Collar Anthems
3 out of 5 stars
brurzedrwikl10 September 2024United States🇺🇸
Picture the tough job of giving a young'un an example of American blue collar pop music that's pretty much perfect (maybe lacking just one truly amazing single) but is jam-packed with brilliantly made songs and lyrics that'll tug at your heartstrings. That's this album right there. Pair it with Elvis Costello's "King of America" and you've got yourself one heck of a party.
Perfect Blue Collar Pop
3 out of 5 stars
tsitwodgherm10 September 2024United States🇺🇸
Picture the near-impossible job of giving a youngster an instance of American blue collar pop music that's practically faultless (maybe except for lacking a truly exceptional single track), stuffed with brilliantly made melodies and heart-wrenchingly good lyrics. This is it. Pair this record with Elvis Costello's "King of America" LP and you've got yourself one heck of a party.
