Grant-Lee Phillips wrote "Mockingbirds" on his own, words and music, and it's one of the songs on Mighty Joe Moon, the second album from Grant Lee Buffalo, which Slash and Reprise released in 1994. Critic Dave Thompson heard that record as a widescreen take on the band's first, a sound as vast as the Montana sky grappling with how firmly Phillips held both his words and his feelings.
