I haven't given this record enough of a listen, but Ballad of Wendy Baker is really good. This albums got a countryish vibe to it, the production is much dryer and vulnerable than his last record, I think its a step forward for him. Sawdust man also has a beatle-ish white album vibe.

01. Gypsy Rose
02. Old Hat
03. Fight
04. Hurtin' You
05 Ballad Of Wendy Baker
06. Sawdust Man
07. Wantin' Her Again
08. Things I Like To Do
09. On Her Own
10. Homeward Bound

its a nice album. and ballad of wendy baker is also my fave. however they are the most unoriginal and boringly written songs. we've heard this 10000000 times. of course it will sound good, but you have to realize hes just copying everyone before him who came up with these ideas.

I finally started liking Sha Sha more after listening a few days ago. I might have to look for this.
