Daniel Lanois is awesome. I just saw him last Friday night in the tiniest club in Hattiesburg, MS. It was one of the best shows I've ever been to.

This is not the best song he has done, but it is a good album. I don't care for the picture on the cover, either, but it's what's inside that counts, right? ;)

Tomorrow night at 7:30 I'll be watching Danny Boy playing guitar and presenting his new film, Silvio, on the world's longest skating rink, the Rideau Canal, in Ottawa, Canada's capital, just across the river from Hull, Quebec, where Mr. Lanois came from. It will be a migic evening.

This song has elements of Bob's Chimes of Freedom Flashing.

you gotta see him live to appreciate him as a performer. He's almost unbearably intense and charismatic. I never miss him when he comes to my town.

It's Mardi Gras time in my former hometown, the sad city of New Orleans.

Do yourselves a favor: listen to Lanois' excellent "Acadie", and to the Lanois-produced "Yellow Moon" by the Neville Brothers, simply one of the best albums ever made.

Segued from Wilco to Lanois; a cathedral of songs; anything Lanois touches is superb, except this CD cover!

Maybe that's what the knife is for ... she's going to kill a cow.

A *small* cow, admittedly, but more would apparently be a waste at this point.

My friend always says that when he sees an overly thin girl: "Mix in a burger!" LOL

I've never heard a radio station play this track before. Love this album; bought it when it first came out.

I think Lanois is someone you have to be introduced to album by album, not song by song. I'm a fan.

Dylan tributes conciously or not, by Daniel Lanois notwithstanding
I must show my appreciation to RP. Bill, what a great set this morn
between Tull and Lanois. My favorite radio of all time!

Oh my God, I cannot stand this guy. A more sensitive Jackson Browne if such a thing were possible. Yep, a three-puker. :puke: :puke: :puke:

There are several terrific songs on that album. Rocky World is nice, but it would be a welcome surprise every once in a great while to hear something like Still Learning How To Crawl, Death of a Train, or Sleeping in the Devil's Bed.

I didn't like this album as well as Acadie. Good stuff, nonetheless.

beautiful song. Sound alot like Jackson Browne. But gentler and sweeter.
