490. "Gene Autry" Beulah



"Gene Autry"
Beulah
The Coast Is Never Clear
2001

I'm gonna be honest here, rockers: I have no idea where this song came from.
I never saw this band play live. I don't remember a friend telling me, "Hey, check out Beulah!" Pretty sure I never read a review in SPIN that piqued my interest in Beulah.
It just showed up on my iPod one day, kicking shuffle's ass. But how?
Did the band slip me a roofie, then come into my house and download it onto my computer? MAYBE. Did I take a medication for which one of the side effects was "Beulah-related amnesia"? PROBABLY. Do I have split personalities like in "Fight Club", and my alter ego is named Beulah, and he wrote and recorded this song? ALL SIGNS POINT TO YES.

This is a good song for people who like singing cowboys but hate country and western music.
