This one "was written by an obscure proto-punk collective called 'Bob Dylan,'" Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson tells Daytrotter, adding that he does it the Byrds' way. If you've heard Sweetheart of the Rodeo, you know that means a loose, free-wheeling, country-rock take on Dylan's carefree Basement Tapes classic (and if you haven't, why are you still reading this shit instead of typing that title into your preferred music-getting source?). Like another promising young act, New Jersey's Titus Andronicus, this Brooklyn singer-songwriter probably won't be able to escape endless Bright Eyes comparisons until he eclipses Conor Oberst's fame (sorry, David Dondero) or starts to sings in a less shaky voice. Here, though, along with honky-tonk piano and barely-in-tune acoustic guitar, Robinson's quavering vocals add to the song's ramshackle feel, doing credit to its songwriter even if failing to surpass the more definitive past versions.
