A couple of observations about The Crane Wife
I haven't enjoyed a new CD as much as this since I discovered Andrew Bird's Mysterious Production of Eggs in 2005. I was listening the The Crane Wife part 1 this morning and actually had shivers down my spine (I know it sounds lame, but it's true).
But all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I found.
A couple of observations about this disk...
1) This has got to be one of the most depressing CDs, lyrically, that I've ever heard.
2) If someone had played me Summersong and told me that it was a new Al Stewart song, I would have believed them. Does anyone else here think that the vocalist sounds an awful lot like Al?
So Decemberist fans, where should I go from here?
