In 2003 I listened to "Countrysides" and the Buzzcocks while working out on my ellyiptical rider before drinking about three PBR's and going to work at La Cruda in Portland.
Ike Reilly truly owns the song, but this is one of those times where Cracker starts to be more Camper Van. This is kinda too awesome to compare to the inspiration. I feel like Reilly's lyrics loathes the cyclic nature of escapism and running from one trouble into the next. Whereas David Lowery's lyrics are more reminiscent and present minded. It brings my mind to the idea of, "We can all hit rock bottom somewhere, so where's the tallest rock?" It really molds altogether into a really modern smasher of a song.
@@mootpointless The lyrics were almost entirely reworked for this. I guess you could call this song more of a "reimagining" than a cover. Absolutely right though, classic Lowery poetic storytelling.

Thought was original Cracker. Lower type lyrics with that wry humor.
