This is track #1 from the original album of 1985 as well as the 2007 remastered re-release. Paddy on the song: "I know that kind of vigor isn't normally associated with us, so that should surprise some people... as for America, I'm not preoccupied with it all. The first LP probably had too many references to it, I know, but 'Faron Young' is really sending up that country's clichés." - (source unknown) "This shows you how stupid I am - it's a song wondering why people like country & western music when they live in the industrial north.
