General Thoughts - Had this on CD as a kid, used to play it in my moms car - Already familiar with the bangers on here. Notably the title track, Girls Got Rhythm, and If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It). Blood is easily my favorite, what a fucking banger. One of the only AC/DC songs I’ve listened to on my own time in recent memory. - AC/DC is pretty awesome bc they’re not reinventing the wheel ever, you know exactly what you’re gonna get everytime and I think that’s a feature as opposed to a detractor. I do think Bon Scott has a bit more personality than Brian Johnson. - if I didn’t know this band was from the late 70s and you told me this was a satire band I would’ve probably believed you. The lyrics service the song but are hilarious. - makes me think of old dudes with Peaky Blinder Hats that who call the waitress “honey”. - being the drummer for this band would’ve been a dream job. Dude plays the exact same four on the floor for every song. That being said, the drum production is old school and awesome. That snare pop hits like a Marlboro Red. Track by Track - Highway To Hell: Name one self respecting person that doesn’t know this song, you can’t. - Girls Got Rhythm: headbanger, such a well constructed lead riff for the verse parts. Lyrics made me laugh. - Walk All Over You: angus phoned that solo in. - Touch Too Much: Bon Scott is a horny mf - Beating Around The Bush: interesting intro riff, at least this one sounds different than everything else. Angus is laying the same solo down on these I stg. - Shot Down In Flames: skip bc this is the exact same song I’ve listened to every time. - Get It Hot: skip bc I’m over it - If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It): **JT ACTIVATOR ALERT** Easily best track. Feels like an awesome song for a bar fight. Love Hungry Man: Skip Night Prowler: Skip

General Notes - I’m aware of Blue Eyes as one of Willies best songs, that’s about it - I also think Willie Nelson is cool as fuck so that will factor into my review - something charming about his guitar sounding almost out of tune (?) - this is moody but amazing, it doesn’t have an edge that this lyrical content would typically have for me. It’s a waltz where the emotion fluctuates. Track by Track: - Time of the preacher: whoever mixed these vocals is a fucking genius. -I Couldn’t Believe It Was True: pretty sick this is an interlude I didn’t even realize - Time of the preacher theme: hell yeah I like the theme, excited for what’s to come - Medley Blue Rock/Red Head: another interlude TS - Blue Eyes Cryin: fucking awesome, no other notes - Red Headed Stranger: interesting storytelling here - Time Of The Preacher (short version):I’m conceptually there’s a reason for this coming back so many times. Love the piano here. - Just As I Am: love how this album captures a feeling, all transitions are seamless. - Denver: I’m such a sucker for these little vignette style tracks. -Oer The Waves: ooh this rivals Blue Eyes, such a vibe. - Down Yonder: okay they’re really break it up now - Can I Sleep In Your Arms: holy shit this is sad. Amazing touch - Remember Me: a jaunt with a sad side. - Hands On The Wheel: romantic, wedding dance ts. Lyrics fucking hit - Bandera: end it with an instrumental piece, fuck yes.
