Anything with a crow on the cover is alright by me



It has been awhile since I have listened to a new album as much as this one. (Taylor Swift's was totally not my fault) It is REALLY good. For some reason it reminds me of Lyle Lovett's "Road to Ensenada" - I think it is because I have been listening to it as much as I listened to that one 15 years ago. I don't often do that - actually I don't often get into new music. Usually I am 5 years late to the game. I mean I still listen to mixed tapes from college and STILL sing the wrong words - "a pocket full of pose" for instance.

This album plus tickets to see Ryan Bingham this weekend means I am musically happy even as I am surrounded by the ever present noise of Taylor Swift and Irish Jigs.

P.S. - He really could have done without the annoying Mariachi trumpet that shows up randomly. i think it would have been near perfect if he had.

    i'm in love and i don't even know who it is. the crow basically seals the deal for me.
    (maybe you should burn me a copy)
    .. and sadly enough i'm cassette playerless now in life, but i still have all the mixes! my stereo from hs is still going strong. maybe the first model out that featured a cd player :) you might be the only person out there case, who i have surpassed w/ musical technology.

    But then I sent it in a care package to my cousins wife who is still battling the effects of a nasty fight against cancer. I will do it soon!
