For instance, I thought Liberty Belle was one of their trifling albums on first listen, but now I hear a towering achievement. William Ham (another LITG contributor) has a theory that G-Bs albums tick-tock between greatness and relative mediocrity with each successive release, which would put Oceans Apart on the mediocre side of the scale. I think that he's more-or-less right up to now (excepting the phenomenal-good Spring Hill Fair), but this one may also be an exception. I'll let you know in a month.<BR/><BR/>In other news, the G-Bs are touring the US for the first time since 1989 in June, hitting NYC, Chapel Hill, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, and LA. Unfortunately for me, none of these places is within a day's drive of Austin, and my budget doesn't have room for a last-minute trip.Hayden Childshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132654204616196598noreply@blogger.com
