They’ve also slipped out the first track on the album “Easy” – a rough and jangly crunch of a song that really got me right away.

It was sure nice of Deer Tick to wrap up and serve out the belated holiday gift of a sweet cover of Paul Simon’s “Still Crazy After All These Years”. This is one of my top Paul Simon songs and John J. McCauley and company do it well. Don’t miss Deer Tick when they play here in Baltimore at the Talking Head on February 21st.
