dear idolators,
speaking of daniel lanois, i HIGHLY RECOMMEND emmylou harris' 'wrecking 
ball'.  perhaps you otr fans all own this album.  i discovered it through 
otr cuz i know linford and karin enjoy this album. it is produced by lanois 
and includes two or three lanois songs which emmylou really breathes life 
into.  she also covers julie miller (who will play in calvin college with 
karin and linford, who i will soon be seeing in chicago, mind you), jimmy 
hendrix, neil young, lucinda williams, bob dylan, steve earl.  WRECKING BALL 
is one of the greatest albums of all time. you all should own it.  this 
leads me to my next recommendation.  as i was standing in the cd store one 
luscious rain drenched, doleful night, sipping my black coffee with 4hrs 
driving ahead of me, contemplating whether or not to purchase 'wrecking 
ball',  my decision was clinched as i noticed one of its tracks, "orpan 
girl"!  i immediately recognized it as the song i had heard Karin sing solo 
on at one of their c-stone shows.  GILLIAN WELCH! she's my personal favorite 
these days.  sadly only two cd's to chose from: 'hell among the yearlings' 
and 'revival', which got nominated for a grammy. HATY is the darker of the 
two.  so please be good to yourselves, buy these cd's. they will scratch you 
behind the ears and pat your head.  you'll be happy to be in such good 
company. good dog.

love,
brian
