not often you can toss that question up and get 5 different answers and two that cant choose. and one of those 5 different is "all of the cooley songs"

i figured Goddamn lonely love would run away, but had a really hard time myself with GLL, Danko, and the cooley songs (not to discredit patterson - some gems on there but probably not my #1 on the album)

While there are some exceptional songs on this album GLL is the correct answer.

Patterson-PPOTM
Cooley-WTDDS
Isbell-GLL

I think PPOTM is my favorite.

18-wheels of Love isn't on this album but it's their GOAT.

Hood must have been going through some sort of illness when he recorded that. So painful to listen to.
