Opener \u201cBrown Haired Daughter\u201d sets the tone: Powered by hard-strummed acoustic guitars, a Crazy Horse-style solo and an exhilarating chorus, the tune flings open saloon doors to a bevy of raucously melodic material. \u201cI\u2019m a Trainwreck\u201d spills forth with all the slop-rock fervor its title implies, while \u201cNo Simple Machine\u201d sounds like what might have occurred had Syd Barrett popped in for a guest vocal on the Rolling Stones\u2019 <em>Beggars Banquet<\/em>. Most tellingly, \u201cPerfume\u201d and \u201cYou Call It Rain\u201d bring to mind vintage Ray Davies, albeit with an unmistakable Americana vibe.
