I think they are all right (in case they said John Prine). "All the best" in the beginning.

Fun band in concert, but got a little "smoky" in the auditorium.

Catchy.

Comparison with John Prine is appropriate though by Prine's standards, this is definitely 'over-produced'.  :-)

Sounded like John Prine at the beginning! That's not a bad thing.

I like that band so much — it's just that I haven't yet figured out if their new album surpasses the old one (of which "Home" was, by the way, the worst track...)?!

Sounds like the soundtrack vocals to a movie from the '60s.

It's probably just you, but any time I can avoid being reminded of the eunuch-like wailing of Jon Anderson is a good time.  Nice tune.

Speaking as someone who is currently involved in the elimination of 560,000 dead salmon, you've got a  ways to go.

Like the visitor to one's living room, who, contrary to expectations, opens up with a good sing-along song. Thanks!
