Although the lyrics are as consistently great as ever, and with David Berman sounding more and more like Johnny Cash - "San Francisco B.C." somehow a close relation to "A Boy Named Sue", the album cover is perhaps the star of the show here. Who couldn't love those three adventurous abseiling elephants, dressed in velvet waistcoats, suits and crowns. Sounding fairly chipper following suicide attempts and various addictions this is probably Berman's most easy listening experience.
Here you get to listen to the second track on the album, the too short "Aloysius, Bluegrass Drummer." and get to see the elephants:
