"Devil's Diary" by The Caulfields

You know a song with lines like "I'm bigger than Jesus now" and "It's never good to be understood by a girl in acid wash" has got to be awesome. "Devil's Diary" was the lead off track to this alternative rock band's debut 1995 album, "Whirligig". The band had all the right ingredients to be huge, and you could say "Devil's Diary" earned them a "cult" following, but "Whirligig" didn't set the world on fire.

The band completed an excellent follow-up recored called "L" in 1997, but it didn't get any traction thanks to A&M dropping the ball. Since then, lead singer and songwriter John Faye has completed several solo projects (his latest, "Meddling Kid", was released just last year) and fronted another band called IKE. All worth checking out.
