Rather, I just post a 1 rating and move on.
More of you could learn from this.
But people love to bitch and complain.

I'm with you horstman re the needless negative comments.
No problem with people writing something negative if there's some intelligent explanation included.
I do happen to like this song.

It's a nuance. I can see how some folks might miss that.

Sorry, she sounds off key in some of this, and the guitar does in some bits as well. It could just be me, but this is just dreary. EDIT: Reading through some of the comments, it seems the guitar sound is intentional... doesn't make me like it any more, though.

Sounds more like they were too cheap to do a retake on the first solo. Then he carried with it to seem "purposeful". imho

I think they've been tinkering in the studio for the past year...hopefully soon. I agree it's been too long.

I am looking forward to seeing them this Summer, though!

This is my first hearing, but from nearly a nearly inaudible level I could tell it was Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, after only hearing them on another CD. Yes, the sound may require real listening. This is not sweet background music, but has a quality that conveys real honesty, at least to me. This music may not fit all moods, either, but she has something unique. Yet another unexpected RP find.


Agreeed, bam23. You hit the nail on the head. As a matter of fact I hope you don't mind if I check out some of your highest rated songs here on RP. I might find something new that I like.

The guitar is mesmerizing and fits beautifully to my ears.
