The Smoker You Drink The Player You Get

You do not know what is happening with me on this one, but it seems that the more I listen, the more you drink the Smoker Player Get You gets. Smoker you drink the player you get simply said one of the best CDs Joe Walsh to date.

I wish he was not the case, but it's not every day that I get a CD from an artist that I can just insert in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end . There is usually one or two songs that I can not force me to go through. Not at all the case with Smoker you drink the Player You Get. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from beginning to end.

Smoker you drink the Player You Get has varied, mix of 9 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly talented artist. Most of the songs display a lot of emotion that does everything for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching the most real emotions like love, sorrow, pain, no relationships and romance impossible. They are all there.

I give Smoker you drink the Player You Get my highest recommendation. It simply belongs in any collection of serious collectors, whatever the music genre preference.

Although this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 4 - Midnight Moodie, track 8 - Days Gone By, and track 9 - Daydream

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [... as in "Stuck On Repeat"] is track 1 - Rocky Mountain Way. Wow
