So I’ve been listening to Storm and Season and it’s just beautiful. Those horns! Bit of a DeVotchKa feel to the music, but the reserved female vox give it a very different flavor. Lovely.

By the way, I finally saw Alela Diane t’other night. I can now die happy. She did a gorgeous, but unfortunately brief, opening set for The Avett Brothers, who I hadn’t really listened to very much before this show. I didn’t know many of their tunes at all, so I couldn’t really lose myself in the performance, but what incredible energy and musicianship they displayed! They just seemed to levitate on stage. I’ve never seen a more enthusiastic audience at a gig either. Invigorating.

I thought you’d like this – keep an eye out for the album. I’ll review it here as soon as it’s available.

Lovely stuff. Purty fiddlin’, and love that deep drone at the beginning of Firehouse. Hear, hear as far as Rich is concerned, as well. C&B hearts C&T.

Have you ever seen her live then? I can imagine that might have been rather gorgeous, but I guess maybe not if she left before you got there.

Aw, thanks, Matthew. I’m told that Erin R. actually lived (or stayed for a while, anyway) in Athens for a time before I moved here.

Also, I have a tag now? Sweet.
