MP3: Caesars - Strawberry weed

Hanzan speaks the Atrap.com/mp3.php?t=638#comments">truth. Not just with his overall assessment of the new Caesars album "Strawberry weed", but also his assertion thAt the title track is a summer hit waiting to happen. Lead single "Boo boo goo goo" is a fine tune and it's growing on me more and more every day, but it does not compete with this At all. "Strawberry weed" is pure laid-back bliss. A perfect second single, really. And as far as I'm concerned, summer cannot come soon enough! Give me sunshine and sweet, sweet music!
