- It's a very good CD. Indeed, I think many of the versions on this CD-EP are
- better than those on the album. However, it's NOT promo-only. It's a
- commercial EP:
-
- Chris Whitley "Poison Girl"
- Columbia CD-EP 44K 74247
-
- 1) Poison Girl (album version)
- 2) Make the Dirt Stick (live)
- 3) Kick the Stones (live)
- 4) Poison Girl (live)
- 5) Living With The Law (live)
- 6) A Pint of Lotion (live)
