Amen to all of this. American Music Club is one of the great unsung bands of the late 20th century. Everclear sits high on my list of best albums of the 1990s and Eitzel is one of my favorite songwriters. The band was amazing live, often delivering a truly harrowing, emotional experience with Eitzel on the knife's edge of shutting the whole thing down at any time.
I've also looked for the Rolling Stone piece without success a few times over the years. I suspect it still exists in print form somewhere in my parents' house, but I've never undertaken that exploration.
Beautiful, Elizabeth. I've only seen Eitzel live once, but it was memorable for all of the reasons you cite, and his work means a great deal to me. Thank you.

Eitzel's "Hey Mr. Ferryman," produced by the distinguished Mr. Bernard Butler, is a favorite of mine. I look forward to his next dispatch.
This is fantastic. I’m not familiar with Everclear but will address that oversight promptly.
