And therefore....?
FWIW, everyone I know who's heard this CD has gone on about at some length
(my minor-weasel copy just arrived this a.m., so I'm just now getting a
first listen). I don't understand where the problem is - well, I mean, I
guess I do as far as those folks who don't want to buy another copy of the
book just to get the CD are concerned (though I will guarandamntee you
you'll be able to get it from O'Brien et.al. at PAs), but beyond that,
where's the beef? It's great old-time music, at least the first few cuts
are, so who cares that they made the album because of a popular book? It
should happen more often - you know, like, new people hearing you play the
music you want to. What are you complaining about, Matt?
On the other hand, Matt's absolutely right to whine about a dearth of
Damnations, TX advances; what's going on, some kind of boycott of The
Heartland? Right around here is where the real tastemakers, like Mark Wyatt
and Dave Purcell, are.
