Places and People

Friday, December 01, 2006 3 comments


Damien Jurado has done it again. Although I love all of his stuff (thanks to Angie for turning me on to most of it), apparently he is at his best when he writes songs that are named after a place in which some girl longs for one of her parents and subsequently some guy longs for the girl who longs for one of her parents. Here is the more recent track I am referring to and subsequently, the earlier one.

"Denton,TX" by Damien Jurado from Now That I'm In Your Shadow {mp3} [BUY]

"Ohio" by Damien Jurado from Rehearsals for Departure {mp3} [BUY]

And just to keep with the theme of themes, here is another one (thanks again Angie):

"The Best Ever Band in Denton" by The Mountain Goats from All Hail West Texas {mp3}
