@falconquest +1 for Decemberists. I found The Crane Wife a couple of years ago and it is still in occasional rotation. I enjoy the several nods to classic bands like Zeppelin, Steely Dan, etc. I recently bought a couple other CDs of theirs and need to give them a better listen. Great storytelling in song form. Great musicianship
Any Decemberists fans out there?
I have to admit that they are not what anyone would consider "audiophile" quality but damn, Colin Meloy can create an earworm for me. I've been listening to "Crain Wife" and "Lake Song" lately and can't get it out of my head. Colin is amazing!
