"The breathing actually makes it a much more intimate record, which is always nice." exactly!

great stuff doesn't really sound like a copy cat of someone before him like so many other acoustic fingerstyle players do. beautiful stuff.

The ending with "We Who Stole the Dream" and "The Snows are Melted" is genius, those two songs could be his best. So good, so much feeling.

I adore the new album, though I doubt it's going to rank up there with his best works, such as O True Believers. Definitely a step above All Is Falling a great way to get back to his bare-bone finger-picking roots. The breathing actually makes it a much more intimate record, which is always nice.
