"In wintertime, the roses died,"
-- Pat DiNizio, "Blood And Roses" from the Smithereens' Especially For You, 1986.
Absolutely rock and roll, anchored by a deadly bass line, triggered by one of the most indelible riffs ever laid down and validated by the blood, sweat, tears (and roses) of real life.

Mr. Sharky
"They thrash and nibble at the bait around my soul,"
-- Terry Taylor, "Mr. Sharky" from the Swirling Eddies' Zoom Daddy, 1994.
A thrilling tale of espionage, treachery and exploitation seemingly straight out of a 1930s crime pulp. Except underwater. Those pulps would disintegrate underwater.

Gear Jammer
"The law don't want no gear jammer,"
-- George Thorogood, "Gear Jammer" from George Thorogood And The Destroyers' Maverick, 1985.
Absolutely scorching slide guitar. What else do you need? Get out your harmonica and play along ...

We Know Too Much
"In our hearts we were wandering Gypsies,"
-- Mark Heard, "We Know Too Much" from Satellite Sky, 1992.
As per usual with a Mark Heard song, lyrical opulence. This rugged interpretation by Michael Been is from 1994's Strong Hand Of Love: A Tribute To Mark Heard (and 1996's extended Orphans Of God). Been, who passed away in 2010, is best known for his work with The Call, but also contributed to psychedelic pioneers Aorta, Lovecraft and post-Moby Grape holdovers Fine Wine. He is also the father of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club bassist Robert Levon Been and portrayed John in Martin Scorcese's The Last Temptation Of Christ (1988).

Shine
"I could be running from the wrong side,"
-- Michael Knott, "Shine" from Alternative Worship: Prayer, Petitions And Praise, 1994.
Though employing one of the most common titles for rock songs, this particular "Shine" is refreshing and invigorating. Not correlating his belief in God with some entitled air of superiority, Knott comes across as a relatable human being.
