Yup, Red continues birthing new b-sides. Last week we heard Rivers do BoA's "????." Now, there are four songs you may not want to sink your teeth into: "It's Easy" offers loose, jammy country western(ish) sounds (which make me think of the Replacements for some reason... maybe because the band's going on that Hootenanny tour?), odd and spacey pronunciations ("Miss Sweeney"), a dramatic ballad ("King") or two ("The Spider"). "Pork And Beans" is a fun song -- and a better video -- and there are certainly other enjoyable Red moments, but it's usually wise not to include extras if they're just going to contaminate the rest of the already spotty track list. As always, you can judge for yourself.

"The King" is maybe the best of the lot -- Westside Story-core. If it wasn't so hot in here, I might even be tempted to raise a lighter. But probably not.
