McCabe’s 2008 is a little too produced for my ear,  but the song writing is really solid,  and a few of the cuts are a good fit on the Folk Show.  As a sometime listener to talk radio, including some that is really pretty appalling,  I particularly enjoyed All Figured Out,  presented in a deadpan style.  Here’s a sample of a couple of lines:
  I know people like you
  Nice people, too
  They believe the things you do
  They just never thought it through

  So When you see that I’m right
  It’s really all black and white
  Think of all we could attain if we all thought the same
  No indecision or doubt.  I’ve got it all figured out

Listen for it on the Folk Show!

Nice, i’ll have to check that out.  I’m not one for people singing in general, but my favorite lyrics currently are Ewan MacColl’s Ballad of Accounting. Lyrics here: http://www.balladofaccounting.org/ballad.php
