Boomtown - Heroes - Make a call to the bullpen...we need a perfect closer. This track closes the album with a sense of renewal...after floating by the underbelly of America, we can at least take solace in simply being heroes.
Bedtime Stories - Stranger - There are few songs that serve as tributes to veterans that come off as subtle and genuine as this track. The message is simple - you lost it all for me - there must be something I can do for you.
Triage - AIDS and Armageddon - It would take some checking, but this might be the first song to mention AIDS in the title. That's beside the point, though, as this is a high voltage track that prompts me, at every listen, to crank the volume and scream out the chorus...especially the live version with Cornelius Bumpus on sax.
A Fine Mess - Paddy Chayefsky's Dead - a masterpiece. This is my favorite Baerwald track of them all. Few musicians can mix artillery fire and a banjo in the same song and make it all make sense.
That's my list - with some brief explanation. I'd like to hear other people's lists.

Now your patrons have all left you in the red. Your low rent friends are dead. This life can be very strange.
