Mrs. Peel Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Wow, that's beautiful. I'd like to have that hanging in my house. I'd also like to have Jason hangin' in my house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tangara Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Maybe I'm reading too much into that cover artwork, but it strikes me as another sign of Jason trying to distance himself from an alt-country sound. That cover is absolutely gorgeous, but it just doesn't look "twangy" to me, if that makes any sense. Compare it to Sirens of the Ditch... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cre618 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Wow. Really nice. Makes me wonder why Springsteen's new cover has to be so goddamn ugly. Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compare it to Sirens of the Ditch...If you listen to the link to the samples above (if it's still live), there's an absolute departure from the "alt.country" sound. Lots of buttery soul in the new album from what I've heard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tangara Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I agree, Cortez - the album art looks like those snippets sound, if that makes any sense... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mjpuczko Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 grrrr....no minneapolis show Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 TT The Bear's is in The People's Republic of Cambridge. Not Boston. Thursday huh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 It was between TT's and the Bowery. Since my husband hates driving anywhere around Boston, NYC won out. Also it's closer to the weekend. Maybe we'll take an impromptu road trip to Philly, too. We've done it before! I'm actually hoping they'll add a Northampton show the day after Boston. That one would win by a landslide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
