Nice one.
Think I lost track of them before then.
You know who was good on Saddle Creek too? Willy Mason.

Iāve never expressed an opinion about The Big Thiefs or heard them before, should I?
Thatās very flattering but as a rule I try not be very at it.
True, itās only in Big Thief threads.
I have no idea what you are talking about

This is almost why I think theyāre the best band going.
I rinsed a lot of saddle creek style indie folk more than a decade ago until I ended up heartily sick of the entire genre. Nothing in this style has done anything for me for years. Big Thief are so good that even though they play a moribund genre Iām fed up with, I still love them!
Also itās fine to be a naysayer, I was! I slid off their first two records because they really do take time to sink in. If I hadnāt given UFOF a fourth spin, Iād be on the āwhy is everyone losing their shit over this boring band?ā side of the fence.
Theyāre nice. I like listening to them. But I expect the best band in the world to envoke more in me. So quite frankly youāre wrong

Would never have persevered with UFOF if not for people on the music board singing its praises. Would have missed out on a lot of the music I love if not for this board.

People whoāve not seen Lenker play live might have no idea how great a guitarist she is. Best iāve ever seen in the flesh. Like watching Bert Jansch play.
Also, a completely unique vocalist, unquestionably, and a brilliant lyricist.
