This is a special remastered reissue of the first Better than Ezra album. That disc was only available on cassette and has been out of print for years. The seeds of the hit quality music that propelled them to fame is all present here. This is a strong release taken by itself. It’s recognizable as Better than Ezra, too. Their brand of alternative rock was in fine form even with this first set of songs.

Americana and cool alternative rock vibes are combined on this song. I love the vocal harmonies as they bring some psychedelia to the table. In a lot of ways this feels like it could have been released in the late 1960s. The mellower, melodic movement later in the track is more of a modern thing, though. This is a classy way to get things started.
