FWIW, I too must heap praise on the latest Sparklehorse album. I wasn'y
able to make it to the show because the Stever Earle/Del show last night
was so darn expensive, but "Good Morning Spider" has rarely left my CD
player since I bought it.
Here is a connection to alt.country, albeit tenuous. While I was visiting
Dallas a couple of weeks ago, I picked up a copy of the Dallas Observor,
which had a full page ad for a Record store that was showcasing the
Sparklehorse album. They described the music as "Wilco on a bad acid
trip." Interesting...
