Both Crosses

Posted over 3 years ago
Ok...so I was talked into doing a brief write up on all of the Hold Steady tracks...not that my arm needed MUCH twisting.'Both Crosses' is probably the most brooding song that Hold Steady have ever written. Musically, it sounds like something off an Afhgan Whigs album, but the lyrics are pure Craig Finn.Faith and doubting ones' faith are recurring themes in Hold Steady songs, and this tune is the next great one in that arena. And I love the Billy Joel reference:"Catholic girls start much too late, baby let's transverberate"
