V - Golden Smog

V - Golden Smog
3:12
Down By the Old Mainstream, 1995
Written by Gary Louris & Kraig Johnson

The alt-country supergroup that deserves a wider fanbase.  This is the opening track from their first album.  Sounding like the Flying Burrito Brothers meshed with R.E.M., this track is about a friendly bartender, V, whom everyone comes to advice and to soak up good vibes but one day just "up and went away."  Old school power pop and very catchy.
