A music-obsessed, retired San Francisco lawyer, and author of the rock & roll memoir Jittery White Guy Music (available on Amazon)... picking a random album or song in his collection every day or so and sharing a few thoughts.
Heading back again to Translate Slowly, the amazing 1985 debut from Austin's Reivers (still called Zeitgeist at the time of the album's release). I'd planned to talk about the title track here, 'cuz damn, what a beautiful song... but for some reason, "Cowboys" has really grown on me over the years and practically demanded its inclusion here. It's a bit of melodic jangle, truly lovely, and like all the under-appreciated band's finest work makes wonderful use of the shared vocals of Kim Longacre and John Croslin.
