Ain't that the way it always ends up! :~) Just remember, just because you like something doesn't mean it doesn't suck. I like lots of stuff that sucks! As for Ryan, I liked Whiskeytown before he broke out on his own. A little over-exposed at first, but appears to be over that hump. You're right about his ballads, they're awesome. I just think he has a great genuine sound, just feels good to listen to. I don't really feel the need to dig for a lot of depth, I just get off on the groove of it; as you say VERY derivative of 70's rock (though I don't hear much Bruce in there), but as a child of 70's rock I label that a very GOOD thing! David Gray, pretty much the same thing. Bob NP: EmmyLou, "Blackhawk"
