		Pearl and the Drunken Dog (2001) I recorded this concept album about inter-species miscegenation with my good friend and former roommate Nicholas Hengen, frontman of the once-great high school emo-punk dynamo World Gone Wrong.

	1. Pearl and the Drunken Dog. (2:48 \| MP3 \| 192 kbps \| 3.9 MB) Mr. Jimmy has been out all night, drinking, and Pearl has locked him out of the house. It's gonna be a long night. My younger brother, James Greene, plays trumpet on this song.

	2. Chew Toy. (2:40 \| MP3 \| 192 kbps \| 3.7 MB) Pearl is tired of being neglected and mistreated. She's not going to be Mr. Jimmy's "chew toy" for much longer.

	3. Ante Bellum Run Like Hell 'Em. (6:32 \| MP3 \| 192 kbps \| 9 MB) Mr. Jimmy recounts the sad tale of how he lost his whole family during the American Civil War. This song is arduous, and borrows heavily from "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Godspeed.

	4. Good Times. (3:10 \| MP3 \| 192 kbps \| 4.4 MB) Pearl reminisces about the "good times," and just how far away they seem.

	5. Hookup at the Hoedown. (2:31 \| MP3 \| 192 kbps \| 3.5 MB) Mr. Jimmy recalls his courtship of Pearl at old man Signer's annual barn dance.

	6. Out in the Country. (4:15 \| MP3 \| 192 kbps \| 5.9 MB) Pearl takes Mr. Jimmy to the country to meet her Ma and Pa, with unfortunate results.

	7. Pearl's Lament. (3:47 \| MP3 \| 192 kbps \| 5.3 MB) Pearl just can't take any more. She's goin' out dancin' tonight, sans Mr. Jimmy.

	8. Back Out with the Boys. (2:33 \| MP3 \| 192 kbps \| 3.6 MB) Mr. Jimmy takes full advantage of his night without Pearl. And after watching an awe-inspiring performance by Jesse and the Rippers on a late morning re-run of Full House, Nicholas and I took full advantage of the Thin Lizzy classic "The Boys Are Back in Town."

	9. Pearl and the Drunken Dog (Reprise). (2:10 \| MP3 \| 192 kbps \| 3 MB) Mr. Jimmy wakes up on the porch after hitting rock bottom and croons this achingly slow, painful reprise of the title song.

	10. Untying the Leash. (2:51 \| MP3 \| 192 kbps \| 4 MB) In this bittersweet album closer, Mr. Jimmy howls a fond farewell to Pearl, but leaves their story open-ended... just in case.

	[Bonus Track] The Bathwater's Cold Without Love. (3:53 \| MP3 \| 192 kbps \| 5.4 MB) I recorded this tune a year or two after Pearl and the Drunken Dog, but it has the same country & western sound, and if you think about it, most of these situations could apply to a dog (taking a bath, rolling in hay... maybe not doing the laundry, though).

	All songs written, performed, and recorded by Dan Greene and Nicholas Hengen. Mixed by Dan. Dan Greene - vocals, guitar, spoons, slide guitar. Nicholas Hengen - vocals, guitar.
