X - 4th of July

  

A certain genius friend of mine mentioned listening to this song yesterday.  I will admit to not knowing much X music after Billy Zoom left the band.  His stunning guitar work was such an important part of the sound of the band I couldn't imagine how they would sound without him.  This song was written by Dave Alvin of the Blasters fame.  It's no knock on either Alvin or Tony Gilkyson (former guitarist of Lone Justice), they were great, but Zoom was the guitar sound of the band.  He returned to the band in 1998.
