I'm always cracking up when I'm listening to Sparks. Loads of high-brow humor packed into just a few minutes of utter ridiculousness.
"Moon Over Kentucky" took me a while to get my head around, personally, but I had adored the biting edge of Russell's vocals on the track, as well as the haunting organ throughout (particularly at the end). Highly bass-heavy; a great rocker of a song. With gorgeous lyrics, written by Ron after having seen the film "Death in Venice". Spoiler for LYRICS BELOW:
I absolutely love the intro to side B of this album. You won't see an awful lot of covers in Sparks' catalogue, but they always get it right. Here's their rendition of the Sound of Music's "Do Re Mi". I don't think it's necessary to post the lyrics to this song, as most living humans already know this song by heart as it is.
