Dave, Dave, Dave, The last record wasn't terrible (although I'm curious why
you think so), it made my Top Ten for that year if I remember correctly.
The new record is just as good, IMO. Not as much twang perhaps, but good
melodies and LOTS of energy. The first couple of times through I wasn't
sure if I liked it or not. Now I listen to it a lot and new things pop up
with every listen. (I love when that happens.)
Finally got to the Electric Shaver record last night. Full of surprises and
great songs. Could be in my Top Ten for this year.
As far as Ana Egge, she's a young singer/songwriter based in Austin, with
an interesting voice, who's a top notch guitar player and writes touching
songs. Not everyone's cup of tea perhaps but I think she's a tremendous
talent.
Jim, smilin' cause he's already SPENT his tax refund
