soundtrack
to the DVD that shares its name, the

Marvin Sease
party on the road. His best tales of cheating, redemption, and irresponsible hedonism are all here, many sounding better in this gutsy live show since the sterile production he's often suffered isn't an issue at all. Songs are allowed to stretch out longer than usual and there's also
Sease
