It is the same stellar album released in 2007 and then reissued by Partisan in 2008. This version of the album finds us returning to the original 2007 illustrated cover. This cover will become the new standard version of the album across all formats. The music and track listing remains the same.\u003cbr\u003e John McCauley III wrote, arranged, played, and recorded the album at the tender age of 21. The album is full of songs wiser and more nuanced than John\u003cbr\u003eshould have been able to produce according to natural law. The words are deliberate and heartfelt and follow the lead of singer \/ songwriter heroes of John’s like Townes van Zandt, Neil Young and Richie Valens.\u003cbr\u003e The album concludes with a cover of the 1962 GRAMMY-winning Song Of The Year, ‘What Kind of Fool Am I’, made famous by Sammy Davis, Jr.\u003cbr\u003e It can safely be said that this debut album is a genre defying classic; it’s a hook filled bar room rock album that is as connected to 90’s Seattle catchy gloom as it\u003cbr\u003eis to left-of-the-dial late 80’s Minneapolis and 70’s Austin honky tonk.\u003cbr\u003e 140g Heavy Metal Grey (gun metal grey) coloured double LP with an etching on side D, housed in a single sleeve jacket with printed insert.\u003cbr\u003e Original release press included reviews from Pitchfork and The Line of Best Fit plus support from Billboard, Brooklyn Vegan, All Music and American Songwriter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eAshamed\u003cbr\u003eArt Isn't Real (City Of Sin)\u003cbr\u003eStanding At The Threshold\u003cbr\u003eDirty Dishes\u003cbr\u003eLong Time\u003cbr\u003eNevada\u003cbr\u003eBaltimore Blues No. 1\u003cbr\u003eThese Old Shoes\u003cbr\u003eNot So Dense\u003cbr\u003eSpend The Night\u003cbr\u003eDiamond Rings 2007\u003cbr\u003eSink Or Swim\u003cbr\u003eChrist Jesus\u003cbr\u003eWhat Kind Of Fool Am I\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Partisan Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42776171249820,"sku":"PTSN003-5","price":23.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_4130d3a8-fb75-49ab-868c-2d7af0658943.jpg?v=1698592521","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/deer-tick-war-elephant-grey-coloured-vinyl-2lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
