Jeffles, I have to agree that the choice of first single was misguided. Come to think of it, there is not one Lindsey song in Tusk that would have made a proper single, considering the times. "Sara" would have been my choice too. It is a great, lush song with a wonderful arrangement. I shudder to think of what it would have become in the hands of a different producer.
On the other hand, releasing "Tusk" as a single, though not commercially wise, did show some integrity. It was pretty representative of the innovative nature of the record. I remember buying the Blind Melon album with the song "No Rain" some nine years ago only to learn that nothing else in the album sounded like that song. And that, as Mick would say, was "majorly disappointing."
