Plumb took just forever to grow on me. I've had the album for well over a
year. I think I picked it up on the recommendation of someone from the
Joni Mitchell list. Anyway, I found it cheap somewhere and listened to it
a few times, didn't care for it, and over the next year would spin it to
see if I liked it more. Mostly, I didn't. But right now, I can't stop
playing it. I guess good stuff just takes a while to grow on you.

Well, okay, I have FATW, but haven't spun it as much as Beautiful Mess and
the s/t. It may be that they're just relentlessly whiny and it's following
through their whole career and I'll either just have to deal with it or
bail out on 'em. But they have some great people as influences (Sam
Phillips being another, apparently) and their talent shines through their
occasional whiny moments. IT's not like Joni Mitchell hasn't whined in the
studio and I think she's queen o' the castle.

known to whine on occasion, but so far lucky enough to not have any of it
published and distributed across the nation.
