On side one he puts together a Motown-inflected version of "Blue Chair" from ''Blood & Chocolate'' (credited to the Coward Brothers and featuring jack of all parades T-Bone Wolk in the James Jamerson role) and "Shoes Without Heels," a subdued, deathly sad honky-tonk ballad recorded during the ''King of America'' sessions. On side two he pairs the ''King of America'' version of "American Without Tears" with a solo-overdub "Twilight Version," in which he follows the doomed transatlantic couple from the first song to each of the pair’s separate sordid fates. "Just like me, she found out what true love is about," MacManus sighs as he leaves them, and that ambiguity hangs like a noose. | ||
