Submitted for you listening pleasure, kind gentlemen, we have the good Reverend Glasseye and the album Our Lady of the Broken Spine. It over flows with narratives of suffering, sadness and maybe even a thimble full of redemption. All wrapped nicely in a package of Americana/folk rock with a touch of Mariachi. The aforementioned Rev. parted ways with Slim Cessna's Auto Club back in '01 and has successfully developed his own congregation of the spiritually infirmed. And I couldn't be happier... if that makes any sense. The track, "Belle's Palsy" alone is worth one's weight in sorrows. The track "Mother is a Carpegian," on the other hand, just may be the song playing in the head of that crazy guy at the bus stop that won't stop giggling madly while he stabs you with a sharpened Barbie Doll arm. Or maybe not...whatever, your call.
