Comment:

Sometimes only a cold beer will suffice — cracked open in the company of old friends at a bar where time once stood still; where every awkward guy fell in love with every awkward girl at least once, like an incestuous family of unshaven music-store clerks and recovering indie rockers. The gospel of which has been written by the Hold Steady since 2000, the year frontman hero Craig Finn left the arty punk of Lifter Puller behind for a promising life of preaching slurred beat poetry to a converted congregation of cool kids. Like a happy hour that doesn't end until the bar-back's mopping the floor, the Kerouac-cribbing [i]Boys and Girls in America[/i] and its pair of suds-and-buds predecessors carry a happy-go-drunky tune of all-American riffs, the likes of which we haven't heard since Springsteen first walked down E-Street.
