Um, please tell me that this is the actual title of the song and not a cover of "Cash on the Barrellhead." Then again, if _that_ tune is the weakest on the disc it _must_ be pretty amazing. g No, it's not a cover but a Murry original, and IMHO, maybe the most interesting song on the album,

I love the new Old 97's FIGHT SONGS! A great pop album but alt.country it is not. The weakest song, "Crash on the Barrellhead," is the most alt.country (and not a Rhett Miller song). I'm pretty well convinced that Rhett is the best pop lyricist of the past 5 years. Sometimes it's just great lines

I'm pretty well convinced that Rhett is the best pop lyricist of the past 5 years. Joe Pernice has more songwriting talent. So there.
