Above: John Watson, Larry Williams
I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that artists shouldn't evolve, but for crying out loud, why do they let trends dictate how they evolve? You have to listen to the stark comparisons below. I will say, I might very well be the only tight ass in the room when it comes these type of side by side comparisons. I just always seem to prefer the older shit. The first two cuts below aren't bad songs, by any stretch. They're great for what they are. Just perfect for sitting in a field of tall grass, with leaping gnomes n' shit. But, for the love of Ivy, get your seeds off of my 45's.
