Picked up the debut Old Crow Medicine Show album too. Very very good. So nice for a string band to play string band music. That hippie fake bluegrass stuff is just plain awful. And just like that Wilco type alt-country stuff, I get the distinct impression that they feel they are too smart for tradition, and that even playing a mandolin they fear any association with real rural people. I mistrust any "country" or "old-time" music that is based entirely in college towns. Any how, Old Crow is great, Wagon Wheel is as good of song as Ive ever heard, and I recommend it heartily. Ate squash from the garden tonight. It was better than any other squash and I can back that up. Im starting to really garden well, and its a nice feeling. Chickens laid four eggs, hoed what felt like a football field of weeds, and read more Solzhenitsyn. A perfect day, or would have been with an hour or two of rain and my wife off all day. But nothing is perfect, there is NEVER anything to whine about and thats the way it is.
