I would say that it would be fairly easy to find in the folk section of a big store, or a smaller store dedicated to such material. I got mine at Webster Records in Webster Groves, MO. I know that any of the online retailers would carry it. You can check out the notes at the Rounder site, written by Mary McCaslin, Jim's ex wife and long time singing partner.

This is taken from Mary's notes:

The idea for "Still Got That Look" came from an encounter with a young man at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City. He was a member of a cult and very determined. He stepped in front of us in an attempt to interest us in the "one true way." We tried passing him and I said that we weren't interested and were just looking for the way out of the building. Still standing in front of us, he said, "There's only one way out..." At this point, Jim sat the guitars and shoulder bag that he was carrying down with a thud and said, "I'll show you the way out!" The young man stepped aside.

Dale:

Many thanks. Is this record easy to find, say at Tower, or would I need to order it?

Best, Oswald

It's Still Got That Look, by Jim Ringer, and is on Philo/Rounder 1202, a compilation of his work for Philo and Flying Fish. It was originally on Flying Fish 242, Endangered Species.

Greetings:

I am looking for a song with this key line in the chorus: "he used to take acid and now he loves god. but he still has that look in his eyes." It's about 10 years old and thought it was written by Jerry Jeff Walker. But it's not on his albums. Does it ring a bell with anyone?

Thanks
