Wow, you are the first person I have heard say that about the Isbell album. 

I guess I'll be the 2nd. 

The new Patty Griffin is very good.

RIYL?

You've clearly & carefully demonstrated you like all kinds of music, PT.  Just dig in brother.

 I've never really read anything about Farrar taking drugs so that's really surprising. 

"V.D. City" is a great song, but it is Centro-matic's Will Johnson on vocals.  And, like you, I think Anders' star shines brightest on New Multitudes.

It's your typical "grower" of a National album.

It was less typical for me in that it took a lot longer to grow than their others had.  But, like all their albums, I came around to love it.

I'm really liking this.

Southwestern?

the Royal Trux
But mostly I wish
I wish I was with you

living in the power and light
I wish it wasn't Saturday night
'Cause I can't raise hell
No, I can't raise hell for two

In Austin
In the Chili Parlour Bar
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are

Especially if one takes liberty with the idea of a "hit" or includes singers, solo careers, supergroups, session work, etc...

Yeah, I guess I (and others) missed the rules of the thread.

Yup.  I bought the cassette strictly for the SD song.  Still have it today.

The looser, the better.  Especially 'round these parts.

don't think I've been this affected by a musician death since Elliot Smith,

Devastated as well.  That is a brilliant live record.  Tinnitus hooked me up with it several years ago.

Yeah agree. That Son Volt is pretty pretty good.

I'm still soaking it in, but I am enjoying it.  I am a big fan of the other 3 records as well.  Between Romano & Ferrio, there's some great country music coming out of Canada these days.

Sing with me

Sing for the years

Sing for the laughter

Sing for the tears

That's some good listening right there.

Two of my favorite records from the past decade.

When I first started writing songs, I wanted to be Jay, circa No Depression.

Can you tell?

Massive Uncle Tupelo vibe/thing/rip-off going on there.  Good stuff Popper.
