    "to the races" is a great record with many lyrical gems that keep popping up everytime I hear it. When is the next solo record due?! "Man O War" is a particular fave with lots of imagery. And yeah, his live shows with his female multi-instrumentalist/vocalists are just inspiring! Listen to him!

    I just saw Eric Bachmann open for Josh Ritter in Boise last night. (Fantastic show, by the way ... catch it if you can.) I liked him, but I was just as impressed with the woman who accompanied him on percussion, vocals, and a variety of stringed instruments. Anyone know who that is?

    I think I actually like his solo stuff more than Crooked Finger. But I actually haven't listened to a very large amount of CF so I might be speaking hastily.

    This album is fantastic, but I think I still liked his work in Crooked Fingers better.
