European Son: this is a Velvet Underground cover. It’s a tricky song to cover because it’s a lot of dissonant art rock, so we kind of just did our own thing. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye: originally written by John D. Loudermilk, but Bettye Swann’s version was the one that I was really smitten by. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

In Spite of Me: this was written by the late brilliant Mark Sandman. I saw Morphine perform in 1994 at a laundromat in Cincinnati and bought the CD from Mark after the show. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

(In Spite of Me) he charged the kid in front of me $5, but then charged me $20 because I had a 20. I respected that. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Big Bird: one morning I came into the studio and Booker T. Jones was playing this on guitar. He said “let’s do this today.” He wrote it with Eddie Floyd in 1967. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

(Big Bird) I love this song because it’s got so many double entendres. Is it about airline travel, heaven, or impotence? My answer: yes. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Let It Be: this was an original I wrote with my old friend Mike Brewer. This was Booker’s favorite demo. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

The End: every bit of this was written by Benjamin Lanz. It doesn’t exist anywhere else, but it’s 100% a cover of Ben’s genius. He wrote every word. #TimsTwitterListeningParty
