Five Albums I Love (Erik Balkey)
5. Slaid Cleaves - Broke Down
"Just give me one good year to get my feet back on the ground / I've been chasing grace but grace ain't so easily found / One bad hand can devil a man, chase him and carry him down / I've gotta get out of here, just give me One Good Year."
4. Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend
"I don't know where I'm gonna live / Don't know if I'll find a place / I'd have to think about it some / And that I do not wish to face / I guess I'm counting on his
Divine Intervention."
3. Steve Forbert - The American In Me
"People talk a lot, but they can never find the heart and the soul / To put a lot of time into more than just a search for gold / The river's flowing dirty and it's moving down to Pass Christian / There used to be a time when it's water was a healing hand..."
2. Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer - Tanglewood Tree
"Shootin fools and starry gazers, wizard hip and button down / I walk the occum razor way through priests and circus clowns / Am I a missioner of faith or grace or vision or / another grinning prisoner of Happytown."
1. Counting Crows - August and Everything After
"Take the way home that lead s back to Sullivan St. / Cross the water and home through the town / Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet / Pretty soon I won't come around."
