I just requested this song last week, so I'm so excited to hear it!  I feel in love with this Frames song thanks to the live version on their site. I love Glen's impromptu "Ring of Fire" halfway through the song and the crowd's singing along.

Yep, it's a very similar sound. Which isn't a good thing, for my ears, as I&W songs are almost auto-rated as Ho-Hum. Yer man's voice is so soporific that I feel like laying down and taking a snooze, though the banjo is tricky and interesting enough to keep me from the land of Nod. Just. 4 from the Nottingham jury

Stop it!  I can't concentrate on my work this afternoon because the music is so fantastic!

"Snow Falling on Sinners" by Bill Heath = greatest Ski Film ever.

If you like skiing you'll find that ski flick and watch it - this song is featured prominently in it, as is Josh Ritter.

Bingo!  ... it was my very first listening of the Frames. Loved it, and has spurred me on to collect their entire discography. Very Worthy Band. Hansard has tremondous charm and songwriting skill. Cheers RP for the play.

Not here, 7.2 is a pretty decent rating.

This kind of has a mellower DMB vibe to it. Quite nice.

Nice.  Very nice.

This is a deeply cool song.  Short, but cool.

Love them. Very underrated band.

Folk Music

Not true of most Frames, but this tune hits me in a very Iron & Wine way. Still excellent.

I love Glen!

I'll second that. Check out the soundtrack to Once as well as The Swell Season CD... fantastic.

He also played the part of the guitar player in The Commitments.

I finally saw Once recently, and really liked it. Very low-key, but true. Will have to get some of this music. Good stuff.

I want to see that movie!

I like his voice too, very soothing.

I really like this tune.

This is the guy from the movie "Once".

Great movie for music lovers.

Great voice!

Normally this is precisely the sort of music I really like.

However I get an overwhelming impression of the parts not quite adding up to the whole they should be. Not quite sure why.

Lovely feel to this number, nice!

Saw these guys live in Boston this weekend - one word: Unbelievable atastic!

Thanks RP, you've introduced me to another great band. Never heard them before but I see they've been around for along time - big in the Czech Republic evidently!
