Four Way Street
"Pretzel Park"

Released in 2003


This is a special album for me. It came out right when the first issue of my magazine, Upstage, came out. I was at their record release party, interviewed them for the mag, and they were in the first issue. This one of the rare albums where I can say there isn't a single weak song. My favorites are "Change Gonna Come", "Shoot the Moon", "Annie Also Ran", and "Ceremony." Sadly, this was the band's only studio release. Many of the members would go on to form U.S. Rails. ** This is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Sadly, this album is not available online.
