I love The Derelict too; it's a great blues piece and great to hear Dave Walker getting to do an original. Maybe for some though Dave is like having Bob Seger join Queen, I don't know, but I treasure that track. I have never warmed up to the Road Runner thing though because it seems unfinished. Now if it could've been the Jonathan Richman Road Runner... and generally I can never get up a lot of excitement for most white guy covers of black American stuff when I have and like the original. But if you get to hear Fats Domino doing Lady Madonna or Little Richard covering Freedom Blues... Ooooohweee.
