I should add that the abovementioned EP is a masterpiece that also features T-Bone's beyond brilliant Lou Reed-esque cover of "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend."
Let's rock!!!

Burnett's 'Diamonds' should be in the conversation of all-time greatest covers.
I pretty much wore out my vinyl version before the CD was available.
Diamonds is a favorite cover to share, though I always picture the Muppets doing the back-up singing.
And there is no way President Schmucko would own an Art Museum in Pasadena;> Also shared this song a lot after Schmucko's election.
Trap Door is singularly the best thing T-Bone Burnett ever did. Period. And yes, that means everything, including his many tedious adventures in producing.
Melania, care to listen to this song?
Sad, so sad
Ditto Cleveland Jeff, though one of his Alpha Band albums, The Statue Makers of Hollywood, is - as my Dad used say about the cole slaw at Waldbaum's - not bad.
Waldbaums...too funny a regional touch stone - we live in Sc now...

Also from 1983, Emmylou Harris' take on "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOO64PHw9KQ
