I'm not sure if he can top Southeastern. That record is so brutal and honest. I hope he does though.

This, so much this. His words on the page just... no words.

A few of my personal favorites:
quote:

Driving to a baseball game on a Friday afternoon
Hotter than hell in Atlanta, Georgia.
I guess it's been fifteen years since I came through here

quote:

I can't get to sleep at night. The parking lot's so loud and bright.
The A.C. hasn't worked in twenty years.
Probably never made a single person cold,

quote:

You can't drive through Talladega on a weekend in October.
Head up north to Jacksonville. Cut around and over.
Watch your speed in Boiling Springs.


Then he channels his poetry into rhyme, almost like Robert Frost:
quote:

A heart on the run
Keeps a hand on a gun
It can't trust anyone

It has been my experience that people become less creative after they have kids, for whatever reason (probably because they are spending time with and taking care of kids instead of creating good art).
They don't call it "Dad Rock" for nothing.
