"Whiskey River Take My Mind"! A lot of folks that have suffered through a breakup can relate to songs like these lyrically but for me the guitar picking had a lot to "say" as well. This is another of the "Hags" greatest songs in my mind. Chock full of guitar licks that ooze with feel, I stole a lot of licks off of these solos also. There's a piano and sax solo but the guitars really shine.
Another "Three chords and the truth" classic, Dan really rips it up on this one as we didn't have to share space with any non-guitar entities. I would have driven Dan out of his mind as we could have sat there for days swapping licks but just like all good things in this world we had to hit the "STOP" button, turn off the amps and go do something that pays the bills.
Peace and Love and I hope you enjoy our efforts!
