The Hold Steady – Separation Sunday

‘Separation Sunday’ is The Hold Steady’s second album. Released in 2005, the album follows the stories of Craig (the narrator), Holly (short for Halleluiah), a sometimes addict, sometimes prostitute, sometimes born again Christian/Catholic (and sometimes all three simultaneously); Charlemagne, a pimp; and Gideon, a skinhead, as they travel from city to city and party to party (copied from Wiki – no shame).

The Hold Steady manage to write songs that you can party to, but also gets you thinking and listening intently.
