One good thing about this particular album is that since it's got both sides of Johnson, it's a great place for someone new to his music to start. I'm glad to hear from people who appreciate this wonderful songwriter.

i heard about these guys for the first time about three months ago. it was a quick review of the band talking about the upcomign release of Dual Hawks. it said essentially, that in ten years, will johnson has not released a bad song yet. a very bold claim to be sure. so i figured i'd check out some stuff…here i am now owning every single one of his records. can't get enough. he is one of the most consistently solid songwriters out there and should be getting a lot more ear time by people out there. thanks for taking the time to review the record here! it's great and it deserves the notice!

Glad you like the band. Yes, there is definitely some Replacements in there. I thought of that early on, but then somehow forgot to stick them in when I actually did the writing.

Love these guys, and glad to see them get play here. “D Boon-Free” was stuck in my head for a week, to the point where I dreamed about it. Much as I like the song, I hated that. Anyway, I'd add some sloppy 'Mats to the list of influences, as well.
