Guys, how exactly do you think they SHOULD promote it? They flogged the hell out of OOTC- all those videos, promo tours. I have a friend who was Lindsey's radio rep at the time who spent THREE solid weeks on the road with him just visiting radio stations, doing interviews.

They're going to rely on the built-in fanbase and the blogging world for this one, and that's okay. It'll get a couple of good write ups in Paste and the like. It'll get airplay on AAA stations like WXRT in Chicago. See examples like Richard Thompson, Bruce Cockburn, etc. That's actually the right place for the record. It's not going to be a huge success. It will be a critic's darling and sell modestly, and that's good.

If LB really wants both of these records out, he shouldn't be so hesitant on the whole Fleetwood Mac recording thing again. SYW sold modestly, and Warners wants to keep the band happy. They are releasing his albums for that very reason.
