Saying your name is like stepping on broken glass
The way that you said mine always gave me a good laugh
Now it's 5:20 and I got a rock in my shoe
Because the things that I said, they were affecting you
You said my smile
Was brighter than the sun
But I just have one question
Was I the only one?
I don’t think I was
You loved the way that I looked at you
Until the big day came and we cried out for June
Now my streets are empty, do I walk? Do I dare?
People will start giving me, start giving me weird stares
You said my smile
Was brighter than the sun
But I just have one question
Was I the only one?
I don’t think I was
So I put my black loafers on and I head to the bar
The waitress thought I was cool until my tongue talked of war
Now the sun is going down and I close my eyes
I never thought one day that I was gonna die
You said my smile
Was brighter than the sun
But I just have one question
Was I the only one?
I don’t think I was

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points.
This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
A vibrant vision of "Central Americana" from the Costa Rica-based artist, blending heartland devotionals with playful Tropicália grooves. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2022

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
