A desert weed deal gone bad. Based on a true story.

"One of the most beautiful and haunting songs about weed and murder ever written. Roeser's guitar solos all through the song are dripping with soul and menace. It's a brief vignette, a snapshot that stays in your mind, and this recorded version really achieves that. The closing verse, and the closing guitar solo, have a sadness and beauty that stays with me, and it's just as long as it needs to be. Perfect, stunning. Very hard to believe that this was written on a band's debut album, it is a very mature song, descriptive and poignant. Listen to the final guitar solo, the last notes. It is so sad but beautiful, better than any of the live versions.
