The Governor

Another bad-ass song from James McMurtry's latest. This blues-based country funk tells a stark story about the haves vs. have-nots. Classic McMurtry.

I totally missed Alejandro Escovedo's latest album when it was released last year, but damn, everything that I have heard off of it so far is top notch.
