Okay, so I know this isn't usually your kind of thing, but I'm curious to see what you think. As I was telling Andrew earlier in the car, I don't think you'd be into their earlier stuff, but this album is pretty amazing. I think the songs are really strong lyrically and I love the music too.It is a really cohesive album.
You won't hurt my feelings if you don't like it, but I'm curious about your opinions.
Taking the Long Way
My favorites are Not Ready to Make Nice, Lullaby (!), Voice Inside Your Head, and I Hope.
Plus, Not Ready to Make Nice has a really cool music video and interesting back story. Basically, Natalie Maines said she was not a fan of President Bush publicly and there was a huge backlash from the country music fandom. She stood her ground, maintaining that she was anti-war.
If you aren't feeling it (or perhaps if you are), two members of the band created another group called Courtyard Hounds. They play more folksy, bluegrassy music. I like them too.
