The vinyl includes a bonus track, not available in the digital download because Bandcamp hates covers, evidently. It's a cover of that old punk rock chestnut, Six Pack. Also, the first 50 records purchased will come with an exclusive, full-color comic from notorious UK comix artist Paul Kortjohn, who also did the cover art, which he did specifically for this release. That comic is available only with this record. Shipping in mid-May.

We've all got smart phones
and I wish to Christ that I didn't have mine
but I need it for work.
I need it for work.
Now we've all got laptops
'cause that's how we roll in the world today
It's how we connect,
at least, that's what they say.
I live near the airport,
right under the flight path.
I hear the engines
and I see the planes.
I take the kids to the airport,
we look at the flights.
We talk about where we might go
to start a new life.
But we've all got smart phones
and I wish to Christ I could slip the leash
but I need it for work
and I hate my job.

I've been following Field Medic for years now, and this is a collection of some of the best stuff. His songwriting blows me away - the immediacy, the honesty. Check it out. You won't be sorry. Plague Dad
If you like folk music that is anything but overproduced, this is yer man. Raw, rough, and rootsy, Charlie Parr is a goddam American treasure who, for me, calls to mind Dave van Ronk. Give it a spin. Plague Dad
