    Wow. Scratch "Red House" for my John Lee Hooker. Huge oversight on my part.

    I'd rather go with "In the Mood" (feat. Bonnie Rait) or "Chill Out" (feat. Santana, and I don't even like Santana that much, that's how awesome that song is).

    John Lee Hooker = The Man

    Picking between In The Shape of a Heart, Running on Empty, Lawyers in Love, Knock On Any Door and Tender Is The Night was like choosing a favorite child. ITSoaH is the best breakup song I've ever heard.
