Okay, when I first heard it, I was like "Wow, this is different.", but I've listened to it about 3 times (fixin' to be my 4th in a sec) and it's phenomenal. There is a grit in his voice, he's whisper-singing ala She Smiled Sweetly. The guitar work is greatness, especially at 37:27-29, I love that. Love the lyrics too. The country influence is over-freakin-whelming.

I can see why people wouldn't like it, but the man continues to blow my mind.

ETA: You know what I REALLY love about this? It's not perfect. Mr. Perfection is not on key towards the end, but dammit, that's the beauty of it. Gah, I love the part towards the VERY end...minute 41:48-42:00

I can't say that I like it, either.

I don't like it. Maybe a few more listens will change my mind....

This song is so beautiful.

Such an 'American' sound, too. Like he has come full circle, heading back fullblown to his bluegrass roots.

I can't even hear the 'off-key- part mentioned by Christy.

I love how it sounds like he's playing and singing live in your own room! A deceptively raw sound... makes me wonder if it in fact was recorded on single takes, or it just seems that way.

Me either. Two thumbs down. Actually, if it was an instrumental I think I'd like it.

Hm. Still not too wild about his singing, but I like the guitarplaying. A lot! Love it

Though.. full, loud singing wouldn't go right with the guitarpart. I can see why he did it this way.

Here's an mp3 of the song via YouSendIt. It's big, by the way, 12 mb.

yousenditlink

and alternatively via streamload
(Don't know if this works the same way but at least it was a much faster upload)

enjoy

his guitarwork is good, as always... but that voice... mhm, you gotta get used to it I think...

shackin'up · #13 09-11-2005, 06:11 AM

well, a lot of you may have second thoughts about it, but for me it's simple.
I cried.
I LOVE it, because it hits me like a truck. Because of the imperfection, the totally unreal but straight recorded vocals that creep under my skin immediately AND heaven sent melodylines, esp. in the vocals.

heroes are hard to find.

I knew you would love it as much as I do, Gerald.

Yeah I played it for my girlfriend and she cringed after thirty seconds, I saw it and said, don't listen, feel it, give him a chance, and she had other thoughts afterwards. She'll never be a fan though.....
