The Kooks vs. The Houston Kid

This morning I heard British band The Kooks' amazing 2006 single "Ooh La" on the radio and it struck me how much it resembles legendary American singer/songwriter Rodney Crowell's equally amazing "Telephone Road" off his 2001 album The Houston Kid. They're both great songs so why not hear them both? Here are, simply put, two masterpieces.
