It does sound interesting.....I'm not actually familiar with Dar Williams
in any respect except from here.But I figured I would keep with the linking
of threads.

I just got the new Lucinda Williams album which is very, very, good
if you like that sort of thing.
She doesn't do any REM covers but it's still real good.
: )
It holds up well to the hype.

btw: I don't like the new REM yet.
I haven't really liked one since Automatic.
(I had to like Monster because of Thurston Moore's cameo and I don't have
New Adventures...)
