      I
      figured
      that
      it
      oa
      be
      unfair
      to
      review
      this
     
     
      to
      the
      whole
      thing,
      so
      listen
      to
      it
      I
      did.
      The
      whole
      thing.
      Once.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      a
      nervous
      tic.
      I
      couldn’t
      imagine
      the
      horror
      of
      ten
      other
      albums
     
     
      has
      apparently
      produced.
      So,
      if
      songs
      like
      “‘
      Ain’t
      Nothing
      Like
     
     
      ”,
      and
      the
      advice
      all
      our
      mothers
      gave
      us,
      ‘Don’t
      aes
      For
      Free’’
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      for
      the
      song.
      All
      in
      all,
      this
      tape
      is
      okay
      for
      a
      country/blues
      tape.
      However,
      I
      do
      think
      my
      grandparents
      will
      like
      this

      This

      qualify
      as

      but
      some
      of
      the

      have
      too
      fast
      of

      similar.
      One
      song,
      ‘‘Double
      Life
      Feeling”’,
      is
      almost
      like
      a
