Listen. This is important.
It might sound like hype, but as hype nips at your ears every day from every
corner, who gives a damn? YouÆre smart. Your BS detector is strong; take this
missive with a grain of salt, but donÆt talk yourself out of opening your ears
to this mix-by-one-band-how-can-this-be-one-band? that fell from the skies of
Puerto Santa Maria, Spain and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Start with Gary Louris and Kraig Jarret JohnsonÆs ôYou Make It Easy.ö A breezy
love song about breezy commitment. Listen. To that solo. To those harmonies.
Dare yourself not to sing along. Try to play ôname the influencesö and you will
have fun but you will fail. And "5-22-02", the first single from the album
resonates strongly as a memorable, hook-laiden track, sung by Johnson with
background vocal support from Louris, Murphy and Holly Marilyn.
Then check out ôHurricane,ö and hear Dan Murphy, singing his guts out and
having, like the title track he co-penned says, ôanother fine day.ö Dig Louris
and Jeff TweedyÆs ôListen Joe,ö and how they sing to themselves and a long-gone
friend, ôsurprise, surprise, everyone dies.ö
