The Rakes – 22 Grand Job
“22 Grand Job” is now getting the full single treatment after being the first offering for the Rakes last year. “22 Grand Job” starts off with a solid drum beat, and clocking in at just over 90seconds. Lyrically the song is spot on and full of great lines “”What am I supposed to do / He’s earning twenty-eight and I’m on twenty-two, it’s alright, it’s alright…” We have all been there, well I have at least. It’s relentless, clever and one of the best songs on a fantastic album. Usually I don’t like reissues but this band and song need to get to as many people as possible.
