{"product_id":"childish-things","title":"Childish Things","description":"Amazon.com\n\nWithin the song cycle of innocence and experience that is Childish Things, James McMurtry continues to explore musical territory between rock and a hard place. The social commentary of the relentlessly bleak \"We Can't Make It Here\" and \"Six-Year Drought\" is more pointed than ever, while the arrangements throughout are as taut, muscular and slap-in-the-face direct as the songs. While the opening \"See the Elephant,\" the title cut, and \"Memorial Day\" evoke a younger person's sense of wonder, the mortal lessons have plainly taken their toll by the closing \"Holiday.\" Along the way, highlights range from the accordion-laced yearning of \"Charlemagne's Home Town\" to the Chuck Berry-style, guitar-driven rock of \"The Old Part of Town\" to a stirring duet with Joe Ely on \"Old Slew Foot.\" With his terse, cut-to-the-bone artistry, McMurtry never wastes a word or a note. --Don McLeese\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000AMJDOC\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000AMJDOC.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mcmurtry, James\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
