I like almost everything Bobby’s produced on Blake.

Also, “Bare Skin Rug” is a funny, funny song.

*Why is “I Don’t Care” on this album when it was already on Pure BS? I know it’s a trend, but is there something special about it? Does he plan to release it from this album?
* I think it’s amusing/ironic that in “Green” he says that he plays the guitar without plugging it in, but the guitars on the actual song are clearly plugged in.
* I don’t think I really like Scott Hendricks as a producer. I like a lot of the songs on the album, but don’t like the productions, which is what I’ve found on other albums that he’s produced lately. Why didn’t Blake just stick with Bobby Braddock?
* Finally, I really like “Bear Skin Rug.” They’re obviously amused by it themselves.
