42 tracks planted, weeded, and harvested. Gardens, flowers, corn, scarecrows, and good honest dirt -- from the Village Green to Maggie's Farm, with stops in bloom along the way, closing with a heaping plate of Green Onions.

Saints, sinners, and everything in between. 34 tracks exploring rock's long, complicated relationship with religion -- from drop-kicking Jesus to chillin' on the beach with him. Salvation not guaranteed, but a good time is.
