I listened to this 3 times the first day I got it...and haven't listened to it since.

I never bought this.

Check your mailboxes fellas. This thing was waiting for me when I got home from work today.

I love this. Waited 9 years for it, and got exactly what I hoped for. The songbook is great, too...really cool of Ed to do that. Has anyone else ever done that (include full music for an album)?

yup!
my wife emailed me at work to let me know it came in...
the top left and bottom right corner of the vinyl are pretty dinged up, but other than that, it looks pretty great

Me either, but I get it streaming on Rhapsody so I kind of bought it.

never bought it, but i bought Water on the Road so that makes up for it.

its decent background music

i could drink a beer also

30 bucks. bam!

The book is really nicely put together, definitely worth purchasing.

I really like the album. It's sneaky--every time I listen I find myself looking forward to clever little melodic twists that I didn't realize had registered with me to begin with. Ed sings well, the songs (it seems) were assembled with care, and the fact that it runs through 15 songs in 34 minutes makes listening in full very palatable. I'd like to hear him sing more songs like he sings "Dream A Little Dream"; it reminds me of Tom Waits singing "Green Grass," or Springsteen singing "Black Cowboys," a kind of gravelly whisper characterized by restraint and exquisite phrasing. I think it's the first recorded instance of Ed using his shifting vocal parameters to suggest a means of using them to his advantage.

the deluxe makes me wanna buy a uke. it's a beautiful package.

It is. Tis why I got one...i honestly enjoy playing the uke. Its a fun little instrument and i can bring it anywhere with me! Great backpacking buddy.

I'd say so. I need one. I got to play a really posh one someone bought someone I know. it's impossible to hit a bum note on those things. they're great.

Butt-Head looks so weird with his mouth closed.

it's worth buying
