I love the way Jerry sings songs like Wharf Rat, Loser and Stella Blue. The imagery in those songs is so powerful, especially Wharf Rat. Can you think of any other examples where it seems as if Jerry is doing more than just singing?

Man, I totally know what you are saying and love it!

"I've Been All Around This World" is another one!

Cryptical Envelopment

If the main criterion is a 1st-person lyrical perspective, then there are certain instances where I can say usually do NOT get that sense, such as:
A)Cover songs. Only JG & RH together could make a song that was Jerry.
B)a lot of Murder, Drinking, Cowboy, or Gambling-themed songs like Candyman, Dire Wolf, BE Women, Jack Straw or Deal

I guess it really takes something undefinable, but some others that put me "right in Jerry's shoes" are

Mississippi Half-Step (exception to the gambling reference)
Fire On The Mountain
Scarlet Begonias

and of course every one of his late-period songs had extremely personal feels to them:

Standing On The Moon
Lazy River Road
Foolish Heart
Built To Last
Believe It
the aforementioned Days

...So Many Roads

Ripple and Terrapin Station are the ones that stand out for me the most.

Personally, I like hearing Ripple at the end of the album, a la "The Very Best Of The GD". Despite the fact that its the same song as it is on American Beauty it has more power and emotion as an album closer...
Terrapin Station....as it finally kicks off at the end of the album it feels as if though whatever the album was building up to is finally here and, if you're hearing the album for the first time you feel as though you're finally going on some sort of a journey and having no idea what to expect or where it'll end.

Not a lot of songs give you that feeling.
