Another straight country set, but unlike Sweet Revenge, this is a sleepy-town stroll, featuring snappy accompaniment by the New Grass Revival. After the terrific opening take on the Carter Family classic"Lulu Walls," the record glides along at a gentle tempo, yielding the clever"Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian" and one classic ballad,"Speed of the Sound of Loneliness," which was cut in a superb rendition by Nanci Griffith for her Other Voices, Other Rooms project. It also features"Linda Goes to Mars" and a re-recording of"Paradise" from Prine's debut.
