This was originally recorded for the San Antonio Current's 25th Anniversary Compilation album featuring local artists covering songs from 1986. It ultimately didn't make the comp, and I've been sitting on it while we work on the first proper Bad Breaks LP. I always meant to release it eventually, so here it is.
P.S. If you don't have "Graceland," you are missing out. The 25th anniversary edition is out June 5, and we can't recommend it enough. The new edition comes with a documentary on the origin and impact of "Graceland," and it's a steal at just 15 bucks. bit.ly/Jv0dS0
