I still think success is success; there aren’t degrees to it. Sure, Nirvana sold more albums and was more successful in the conventional sense… but compared to someone who’s never released an album or toured their city, let alone a continent, the Dharma Bums were successful.

I love this sound! Reminds me a little of Drivin' and Cryin", another underrated band from that era. Can you recommend a couple of other Dharma Bums songs like this one?

Sure! I'm glad you liked it! The first one that comes to mind is "Timeyard" off their Haywire album. It's rawer than this but so good. I'd also check out "First Time/Last Time" off Welcome. "Good Advice" is good for some "oohs & ahs." Last one is "Far From Gone" off of Bliss. It's a little off-menu, but hopefully, you like it.

I'm always happy to hear a record resonated! You were born in a year filled with fantastic music releases! No wonder you put together such great playlists. :)
