It occurs to me that this is Mudhoney's "Down by the River" song. How many artists/bands have done that "I murdered my girlfriend and now I kinda regret it" song?
Ah! Mudhoney! Great stuff. Have you listened to Steve Turner's solo stuff? Acoustic balladry with fascinating lyrics. I'll give him another listen today as well as reunite my ears with Mudhoney.
Love Mudhoney, think my favourite is 'Endless Yesterday' though, classic grunge with added xylophone, what's not to like about that combination!
(PS, on the subject of grunge, Cobain is an upcoming 'maverick' theming one of the chapters in my music themed novel at https://challenge69.substack.com )
"They had a grittier approach, but they still had some of that Hollywood swagger..."
Sounds like 'Mudhoney' was an appropriate name.
Thanks Kevin - as usual - for turning us on to good stuff.

Good point! I can't think of any off the top of my head.

I haven't! I'll change that ASAP. Thanks for mentioning him.
"Beautiful Winter"
I'm listening to the title track as I type this. Fantastic sound, and perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Cool !

Sorry, meant to attach this, an interesting Louder than War article on the band from a couple of months back https://louderthanwar.com/everything-we-touch-is-gold-interview-with-mark-arm-mudhoney/
Mudhoney! Nice.
New Young Gun Silver Fox dropped this AM, Kev! About half way through so far, and I'm digging it.
I. cannot. Wait.!!!
Ohhhh, this album is one of my best cut-out buys.
I really like When in Rome too.
Some of the best deals are in there.
My first intro to Mudhoney--thanks! This definitely takes me back to my college years.
Great. I did not know this. Love the song. Thanks, as always, Kevin, for sharing.
