"Good find, thanks. Ry is still firmly planted in his stance. He's never wavered. I remember when Neil Young came out with a most un-enlightened piece shortly after 911. It was quickly relegated to obscurity and hasn't been heard from…"

""The Sound Of His Own Voice" by John Wesley Harding. I saw him in London a few weeks back at a very low-key solo promotion of this new CD. Smart songs, he obviously knows his Beatles Book as he can pull out a smarter melody…"

"1. Nah
2. Nah (I still have the vinyl).
"Server not found" for the link. Probably because I'm six weeks too late.

Danko/Fjeld/Andersen - Blue River
"This is a fab album. Rick Danko's voice is heartbreaking. I've seen Eric Andersen a couple of times in recent years - he's so good, and underestimated. This is one of the best songs The Band never wrote."
