Yeah, that comp did turn out kind of cool. Gave me a reason to revisit and rediscover a few artists as well. Speaking of Giant Sand, I didn't mention Howe's latest in the thread opener, but it's one of the years best for me. 'Sno Angel Like You. Little review at my site, but hard to really do it justice with my limited faculties. Not much twang, and backed by a gospel choir, but charming as ever in both music and words. Great sound too. Haven't been pulling it out enough lately, so I'm feeling an overdose of Howe and Giant Sand coming on this weekend
