A few weeks ago, I had a really good day at Value Village. I got four CDs, Billie Holiday's greatest hits, Hole's Celebrity Skin, Sarah McLachlan's Surfacing and a compilation of Violent Femmes' best work between 1981 and 1993. Those were some good years for the band; sometimes I still catch their tracks playing on Detroit's alternative station. "Jesus Walking On The Water" comes from '84's Hallowed Ground, an album noted for its Christian influences. Whatever god you may worship, I think we can all appreciate a good folky alternative number on this fine Sunday afternoon. You've got the whole folk collective here to match lead Gordan Gano's vocals. This is something you'd play on the radio in the south on a ride to the ol' fishing hole. It screams summer, really. Time to scream back.
