Americana at its best,

This review is from: 87 Dollars and a Guilty Conscience That Gets Worse the Longer I Go (Audio CD)
This mini-album consists of eight tracks. The title track as Richmond fontaine fans will know is one of the stand out tracks from the "13 Cities" album. Obviously those who have the album might question whether this collection is worth buying,the answer is resoundingly-yes. the other seven tracks show a number of the different faces of a quite remarkable band.
For those familiar with the songwriting of Willy Vlautin it will come as no surprise that a number of the tracks tell stories of people unable to cope with life, often on the move looking for some answers to the problems that life has presented.None more so than on the track "Wilson Dunlop", which was showcased on the last UK tour, on which Willy explains how his thoughts keep returning to a number of former work mates and friends who seem doomed. These sketches of life are bookended by instrumental tracks that feature Paul Brainard on pedal steel and have that "south western/desert" feel carried over from 13 cities. In the middle of the collection is a track "the Water Wars" which has the potential to be a long term favourite. It is a road trip song with a difference. The singer steals his room mates car keys and $100 bucks and leaves town, goes on a bender and gets thrown in the can.Even worse he finds works in a warehouse in LA. It's the type of track that you play over and over until you know the lyrics and sing along. The only think better than having a Richmond fontaine album is to see the band live,for existing fans of the band fortunately this mini album also carries a short documentary and DVD of the band. All in all excellent value and real quality.

This is a superb mini-album, The previous reviewer hits the nail on the head - its full of more songs about people on the edge. Go and buy it, and yes - they are incredible live!
