Rocketship

The second song on K. McCarty's 1992 album "Dead Dog's Eyeball." McCarty's covers were my introduction to Daniel Johnston way back in 1993. My ex wife had a friend who worked for Bar/None and we'd periodically get a box full of complementary CDs...usually jazz and usually John Coltrane (my beagle's namesake). This CD, with it's strange cover art was an enigma to me. I'd never heard of K. McCarty, Glass Eye, or Daniel Johnston. Honestly, I think the CD stayed in it's cellophane wrapper for about a year before I actually listened to it. When I did, I fell in love. When the ex and I split, she took the jazz, but I kept K. McCarty AND the beagle. I think I got the better end of the deal
