Thomas the Rhymer made its debut on Now We Are Six and has appeared on just about all of their live and compilation discs. Freightdawg, if electricity were the only problem with country, it might not necessarily be bad (I'm thinkin' Dylan at Newport). I can't handle the fake sobbing vocals, the pedestrian lyrics, the overly polished production, the whole pre-fab presentation ("freeze dried music" as Frank Zappa once referred to pop). And then there's the overdose of make-up and hairspray. On the women, too.
