Download: “I Want You to Know” (mp3)

Perfect guitar tone. Two verses, cool, then they give you the big chorus–and a ear-blistering solo that the next cubicle will enjoy emanating from yr podlings. Get some ointment from HR. From the album with the year’s greatest cover, Farm, issued recently by the clearly fine folks at Jagjaguar. Acquisition info here.
