on w/ the acoustic guitar theme, though today's song is augmented w/ drums, mandolin, and other instrumentation. from the much acclaimed, all-acoustic March 16-20 1992, Uncle Tupelo showed respect clearly to the roots music they love and were influenced by. no loud, crazy horse-esque guitars on this one; much more introspective, telling tales of appalachia and the dustbowl. this is personally one of my favorite songs, and always reminds of me a weekend years back when my wife and drove from one friend's wedding @ the Cape down to another's in Philly, and changed out of our wedding clothes in the grass parking lot from the 1st and drove out while this was playing. i've always thought this would also make a good soundtrack to a bike vid; maybe someone can put it to good use.

the dissolution of UT found Jay Farrar forming Son Volt while Wilco has become Jeff Tweedy's high profile project. if you are a fan of either yet somehow managed to keep yr collection free of UT, the 4 records they did are absolutely essential.

edit: Hah, they were on the dh girlie mixes, that's where I had heard it before, not sure why I tagged it as being off one of my commercial CDs.

Anyway, great track!

Goes nicely with the first cup of coffee.

knew I recognized this. I already had it. Now I have it twice.

sorry for the repeats.

Yes, you should certainly cater to those handful of us who received your mixes a year ago, instead of promoting good music to the general population

narlus made a 3 CD mix a while back for dh girlie and posted that he was going to make a small handful of duplicate copies, so whoever PMed him asking could get a copy. I don't know how many were sent out, but I got a copy and they were pretty damn good mixes.

They're still in my car, actually

That would be fun to put together a collection like that. Hmm...

i really dig this song. clean recording, nothing cut off (including the pseudo-sibilance of fingers and picks rebounding off of strings). D maj: Isharp7(+9) ------ II(+9) --- flatVII(+9)---- repeat. good chords, use of multiple voices, layers, pacing, direction. tasty.

excellent recording quality too...peter buck (REM) did a fantastic job w/ the entire record.
