Yo Babooski -- Keep trying. Be patient. This ain't no
Emmylou record, ya know. It took me a week of playing
"Trampoline" at home during lunch for it to click with me.
Joe Henry is one of the most difficult artists to "get" on
the first listen I've ever come across. It always takes
days, even weeks, before his songs work for me. So far,
I've played it three times and I'll rank "Like She Was a
Hammer" and "Great Lake" up there with his best work. He's
managed to transcend twang (in a good sense, of course!) in
a more pleasing way, to these ears anyway, than, say, Jeff
Tweedy.
