The wistful, it's-nice-and-sunny-somewhere-faraway feeling I get from this album is only multiplied now that summer is pretty much gone. I feel like I'll be spinning this a lot in early autumn.

I know very little about the Grammy's, but if they do a 'lifetime achievement' award for the folk category, Steve Earle should win the fucker.

If he does he will be such a weirdo when he accepts it, trying to balance former Eddie and current Eddie isnt easy.

No clue, but he's been much more open to that kind of stuff in recent years.

I'll be honest here, that's actually a pretty solid line up right there. If I were Ed, I would not feel bad if I lost to one of those.

Add the Civil Wars to the list of modern folk groups I don't "get."

i gave this record a few spins and, well, it's 'nice' ? there's really nothing to make you want to come back to it.

Agreed. Nice harmonies, pleasant, songwriting kinda undercooked. Very wallpapery.

dimejinky99 · **Posted:** Sat Feb 11, 2012 2:49 pm

Totally. you could have it on in the background at a dinner party, it's very safe and inoffensive, yet the same could probably be said about Uke songs, but at least that has the duality of being a record you can have in the background or you can really engage with on headphones. Civil wars doesn't have that i don't think.

Take no prisoners

I'm overdue a spin of the Uke record. The boots from that tour are awesome though. They get most play.
