I just love this album art! The song's not bad, either.

That's a shame Fred, you're missing out on an amazing group of musicians who can give a hell of a show live (check out their latest album, I think you'll like that one a bit better).

For me, a solid 8 and the album has a lot more to offer!

This album is superb!  The intricate layering of instruments upon each other throughout is wonderful.

I think I&W would team up very nicely with Ray LaMontagne.

I saw him last month in a club in Vancouver just him and an acoustic guitar. He really connected with the audience and he's pretty funny.

Worst gig of the year for me so far was I&W at Golden Plains Festival. Bloody awful, muddy performance resulting in a bloody awful, muddy sound (ok, the sound there is always a bit muddy but this was terrible). Too many muso's on stage and not enough talent between them. He doesn't need all that baggage, his music is better when kept simple. If I never hear a pedal steel guitar again it will be too soon.

I&W was the first concert my kids every took me too (instead of the other way around). Adult kids are wonderful!

And so was the concert. Beame seems genuinely polite.

I am seriously sick of the songs from this album. I'll never buy it thanks to RP's overplaying. Thanks for saving me $15-20!

Nope its me blackmailing Bill and if I told you how I'd have to kill you...

Now if I could only remember what I'm blackmailing him with

i caught the same tour in portland. saw sam play a few years ago on the i&w/calexico tour with my dad and it was amazing. we flew to see the show and flew home for my birthday. i'll never forget it. sam played tonight in my hometown and i bought my dad a ticket and sent him to see sam again for the both of us. he dug it even though i wasn't there, and music was a bridge once again in our lives.

can't even say how much i appreciate sam and his music here and what it means to me in so many ways.

cheers!

You gotta be kidding me. Why listen to RP if not to hear songs like this?

Agreed. I put it at the top of my Christmas list last year, along with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's Baby 81 . Santa generously left both under my tree.

I need to make a point of emailing these bands (and their record companies) to letting them know those sales would not have happened without the exposure they receive on RP.
