Re: old & new

Hi, welcome to the orchard.

I guess I don't see Ohio as really a departure... maybe as the next step
for an artist.  Its so stylistically all over the place people have
claimed to hear lots of the older albums in various songs.  Some of my
favorite parts of Ohio sound most like _Good Dog Bad Dog_, which I am
particularly attatched to.  I think it shares the bareness, the
vulnerability of some of the songs on Ohio.  Ask someone else, and you
might get an entirely different answer :)
