Comment:

I didn't including anything from "Trouble Tree" because I am not real keen on that disc and I only included two tracks from "Can You Fly?" because, again, I am not real nuts about it (although many of his fans swear its his best CD). I also skipped a few essentials from "This Perfect World", which stands up damn good on its own (incidently that CD was Butch Vig's 'Yang' to the 'Ying' of Nirvana's "Nevermind"...he did both around the sime time). Freedy is one of the best writers of character driven songs I have ever heard...his tunes play like movies...incredible. The collection's title comes from a line in "Bad Reputation" (his best known song).

Very nice. I think I would have included "Coffee, Coffee, Coffee" from the Tom T. Hall tribute.
