1994 album by
the Toadies. If you remember the song Possum Kingdom, it was their
one hit wonder, and it was one of the songs from this album, their only album that I know of. Its sound is typical rock, as is the setup: lead vocals and guitar (Todd Lewis), bass (Lisa Umbarger), drums (Mark Rezinicek), and another guitar (Darrel Herbert). Todd's growling voice as he
weeds through the songs reminds me that I am not yet completely a
docile bovine, that I have issues and rightful anger, that I am struggling with life in much the same way he is singing about. What follows is the song list, on most of which I will be
noding separate write ups so that this isn't just another "shameless lyrics" string of nodes that people, including myself, have complained about.
