he should drop it from the set list if he´s bored with it.
if you have a chance to see them,i recommend it.

I like it. My favorite tracks are This Is Us, Belle Starr, All The Roadrunning, Red Staggerwing (it's cheesy but fun), I Dug Up A Diamond, Rollin' On, and Love & Happiness. Actually I guess that's most of the album. The main complaint I've seen is what Diss said about it being stuck in that midtempo limbo. I agree that it is sort of a sleepy record, but not in a bad way, imo. It feels soft and mellow and summer-y to me. There are a few good solid songs; the rest are decent. Sweet, good textures, beautiful harmonies, not overdone... it's not my new favorite cd, but definitely worth picking up.
