Been listening to the album all morning.... it's so good! If you are a fan of folk and Americana, and if you are a fan of Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, M. Ward, Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes... or for that matter, The Fleet Foxes, The Dodos, Steve Earle, Mumford & Sons, Tom Morello/The Nightwatchman, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Iron & Wine and The Decemberists... and always kinda had a soft spot for Bob Dylan....
YOU WILL LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!
By the way, if you haven't heard the Yim Yames/Jim James Tribute To George Harrison (hmmm.... today would have been George's 69th birthday....) please correct that situation immediately:
