"Excitable Boy" ranks near to the top of the list of my all-time favorite
records.
It's almost cliche by now, but "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner," is a
terrific tune, and is just a lyrical thicket. Ditto for the title track. And
I can't listen to "Johnny Strikes Up The Band," without being brought back
to a very specific time in my life.
Good news on the reissues.

As great as those are, my faves are "Frank and Jesse James" and "The French
Inhaler". Anyway, I hope they reissue everything -- I would like to work on
getting all his stuff.
