    I was excited for the album to be released before, but after hearing it last night, the 2.5 month wait feels excruciating. I agree with Brianne: I don't think it sounds like SBS. I also don't think it gives off a "strong country vibe" as Rolling Stone suggested. I love Sky Blue Sky, and I love what I heard last night. They are not, however, alike.

    Agreed. The "country" tag probably came from the handful of songs with Nels on the slide, but if that's country, I'd like to know which country we're talking about (or planet, even).

    I Wanna Be Your Dog, snoring pugs, beautiful Glad And Sorry with Dave on guitar, and laughter equivelancy of 100 situps. New album was fantastic, company was great, Jeff was in fine form and strong voice, as were many hecklers. Thanks, S&S! Just what I needed after a long hell of a winter...

    Favorite single lyric of all-time. Yeah, that's right... only one!

    Nice thread.

     

     

    "Standing on the corner,

    suitcase in my hand

    Jack is in his corset, and Jane is her vest,

    And me I'm in a rock'n'roll band Hah!

    Ridin' in a Stutz Bear Cat, Jim

    You know, those were different times!

    Oh, all the poets they studied rules of verse

    And those ladies, they rolled their eyes

    Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!

    I'll tell you something

    Jack, he is a banker

    And Jane, she is a clerk

    Both of them save their monies, ha

    And when, when they come home from work

    Oh, Sittin' down by the fire, oh!

    The radio does play

    The classical music there, Jim

    The March of the Wooden Soldiers

    All you protest kids

    You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah

    Sweet Jane! Come on baby! Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!

    Some people, they like to go out dancing

    And other peoples, they have to work, Just watch me now!

    And there's even some evil mothers

    Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt

    Y'know that, women, never really faint

    And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!

    And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush!

    And that, life is just to die!

    And, everyone who ever had a heart

    They wouldn't turn around and break it

    And anyone who ever played a part

    Oh wouldn't turn around and hate it!

    Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!

    Heavenly wine and roses

    Seems to whisper to her when he smiles

    Heavenly wine and roses

    Seems to whisper to her when she smiles

    La lala lala la, la lala lala la

    Sweet Jane

    Sweet Jane

    Sweet Jane"
