I got in line in Chicago at 5:30 AM for one reason: Sebastopol. And I got it. (and 14 other lp's...) It was $34.99 - not unusual at all for a 2LP set these days. Though the live Son Volt set was cheaper. It plays nice - flat, centered, and quiet pressing. The mastering is not audiophile by any means...

Daniel Romano - If I've Only One Time Askin' Actually someone here put a track from his last album on the 2013 board comp which introduced me to what has turned out to be my latest musical obsession. The guy doesn't stop. That was me (I believe) - and I'll second your vote for this lp - best of the...

How would you say Trace matches up to the 2nd and 3rd album on vinyl, quality-wise? Each of the pressings are quiet and flat, the sibilance issue present on Trace is not a problem on Straightaways or WST. The mastering on WST has the most punch, less muddy than the first two, with the best dynamics...

I agree that the first three need to be re-released, and Okemah needs to be put out there for the first time. Before anyone considers spending big bucks on Trace vinyl - know that it is not that great. I'm lucky enough to have each of the first three on vinyl and I spin them quite a bit - but to pay...

The cover during the encore was "Stop The World" and he also added "Hearts and Minds" during the 5 song encore.

Re: On Chant and Strum

Hi all, Tim had posted about the lyrics to "Bleed the Line". I was wondering if anyone could post (or knows where online I could find) the rest of the songs that are part of the On Chant and Strum collection. Thanks from MI. Pick up a copy of the vinyl - it's dirt cheap now and the lyrics are inside.

It actually took me some time to really enjoy it - then I got hooked. That happens to me alot.

Interestingly I bought the vinyl - which is great - but it's missing a couple of tracks that are my faves from the download card:
Karen's Song & Hold Me Down.

I usually like to have a 'bakers dozen' as well but this year left me a little cold. I knew it would be a tough year when I didn't enjoy the Farrar/Guthrie release and then found the Calexico lacking. Sigh. Maybe your lists will help me out. So here, without the pretty pictures, is my top eight: 8. ...

(real ultimate power)

Wasn't there but I believe that would be cover of Doug Sahm's "Be Real."
