"Sodajerk" comes from Buffalo Tom's 1993 album Big Red Letter Day, and it rolls in on big, ringing guitars and a chorus that sounds like it has been waiting all day to be sung. Bill Janovitz sings it and plays guitar, Chris Colbourn handles bass and more guitar, and Tom Maginnis holds down drums and percussion; the three wrote it together. The band produced it with the Robb Brothers, and Mike Gibson engineered, keeping the sound warm, loud and plainspoken.
