My system's sounding the best it ever has. Played one track from this one this evening and was just stunned at how great it was, had to hear the rest. I think it won some awards; it deserved them.

Yup about Raising Sand. Some really fine music.

 

I've loved some of each of their stuff over the years, and together a whole 'nother love. Never would have thought of putting them together. I wonder if Robert Plant would have given any consideration to such a thing in his Led Zep days. Well he/they did use Sandy Denny so.... Just thinking out loud--on lcd.

It may not only be for Christmas, but it's still a hell of a lot of Christmas in June.

Under the weather all day on the 4th, so I went to my balm for healing and inspiration which dates back to the first time I ever heard Evans play (as a side-man) as a child and could not take my eyes/ears off him. In person, his performances were even more exquisite. Enjoying his music,

Richard
