New Boy
TVT Records, 1994
This EP contains live and studio versions of “New Boy,” a bittersweet tune from 1994’s Ring album, delivered in the veteran group’s typically winsome manner. (Sample lyric: Sometimes I get the feeling things won’t fall apart/sometimes I get the feeling things seem pretty nice/then again sometimes I’d like to leave you twice.) There are also a couple of unreleased studio tracks, “Logan Street” and “Wonder Why,” which are as strong as anything on Ring (and not much different sounding). The real surprise here is a version of Jethro Tull‘s “Living in the Past,” which, oddly enough, seems well suited to the North Carolina band’s brand of pop/rock.
