Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Smoker You Drink The Player You Get gets. Smoker You Drink The Player You Get simply stated is one of Joe Walsh’s best CDs to date.
I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Smoker You Drink The Player You Get. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Smoker You Drink The Player You Get has a nicely varied, mix of 9 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly talented artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
I give Smoker You Drink The Player You Get my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.
While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 4 - Midnight Moodies, track 8 - Days Gone By, and track 9 - Daydream
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Rocky Mountain Way. Wow!
