    He is no Jim James. Nice enough though. Great song whoever takes a swing at it.

    There are song clips on the Amazon page…unfortunately “Golden” seems to be the only really fresh-sounding track. And I was really looking forward to this disc, mostly because I wanted to buy it for my Dad. He’s a huge America fan.

    fresh? are you kidding? it’s the same version my morning jacket already did! it’s not even a cover…it’s just basically stealing.

  6. You can listen to the whole album by following the QT link and in the URL where you see:

    Just change the 04 to 1 – 12.

    Fancy, eh?
