Drying the Eyes of the Goddess of Gloom, Underneath the Stars and the Moon

by Gloom Balloon

supported by

Matt Bauman This is a mighty fine album. "Drying the eyes..." is an underrated & significant work that should be part of any discussion of American music or love songs. Take out the wirty-durds & this would be one of those ubiquitous records found in every home alongside "Born in the USA," "Abbey Road," & the bodyguard soundtrack.
