I am in awe of this song...
Goes to show what lack of marketing does for a band..
This should have been that generation's ultimate party song...
I hear the most popular college boy song is "Straight To Hell"
no offense to Kevn Kinney (who writes really good stufF), but Before I Break really should have been a top 40 hit, what with its subject matter
(ON LIQUOR I SPENT MY LAST DIME) - Come on people, how much more fun can a song be!?

Back Into Your World, with Barstow and Blind Hope very close seconds.

I went with Blind Hope. Does anyone know if there's a "finished" version out there with additional verses/lyrics. I end up playing that song three or four times in a row because it's so fleeting.

Back Into Your World - no doubt. One of my all time fav Jay tunes. Which is also the case when it comes to Barstow, btw...

By the way, I was the Blues Die Hard vote. I've never understood the attraction with Back Into Your World, to be honest. I'm old school and stuck in the past, so you can pretty much count on my favorites to be older, a la Blues Die Hard.

I'm not so sure... The C category is quite a batch of good ones.

True...but only one of them is named Chickamauga.

Forget the sweetness and focus on the logic...Been on the road and wanna be back at home...let me back into your world.

Gotta go with "Before I Break". Always one of my favorite examples of very early JF.
