Brendan Lynch's First Album

Brendan Lynch & The Honeyblister- The Road to Bakersfield

Titles that are highlighted (except Barstow) are linked to pages where you can hear either Quicktime or RealAudio versions of the songs.

Fair Game: All's fair in love and war but that doesn't mean you have to like it. This track appeared on the soundtrack to 1995's The Babysitter.
Pleasure Cooker: Blue movie blues.
The Best It's Going to Get: Cut your losses and start living.
Did You Read My Mind?: I've had trouble making heads or tails of this one, but it speaks to me of mixed up genealogy.
Anywhere You Go: You can't tell if the character is talking to himself or someone else...
It's All in Your Head: Sex functions as a social ladder once more. I listen to these stories Brendan tells and I have to wonder if he's travelled a great deal more than I, or just been to different places.
Blue Meridian: There's a street in our hometown called Meridian and I used to think Brendan might be referring to that! Rather, it is another paean to coitus. Well, write about what you know, they always say...
Barstow: The constant tussle with Ethyl Alcohol.
Hateful: Slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch...
Never Tell: A date with a mystery ending, at least a mystery to those who aren't singing this story.
Slow Motion: People of different metabolisms don't mix.
The Road to Bakersfield: A eulogy to wasted life, all for want of a seatbelt.
