All of his music is dead to me now. At the risk of bringing down curtains of flame, I'm with Stewart on this one; EC bit the big one years ago and hasn't let go. Being "musically restless" is fine, but it's not an excuse to pawn off crap music. If only he'd died early, perhaps in an interesting way, he'd have a sweet legacy intact. But he'd also be dead so there's a bit of a trade-off. On the bright side, Krall's recent cover of "Love You (Me) like a Man" means songwriter and ace fingerstyle picker Chris Smither is getting paid again.

Or, uh, you could just rephrase. It's one thing to convert it to a modifying noun (White House staff, Lloyd's policy) - but there are situations where that isn't applicable ("the White House's architecture", say).

But it's the kind of stuff that's so well-written and charmingly performed that it reminds you that that's not necessarily a bad thing (sort of like an early Wilco record in that respect, perhaps). That early, scratchy, tight-loose dB's thing is probably just lost to history, and we just have to deal with that. I liked the recent loose Stamey record with Yo La Tengo a lot, but the almost-simultaneously-released and more "serious" "Travels in the South" was very disappointing... quite bland indeed. The Drifters records are way better than that... organic, energetic, fun. The Susie Cowsill stuff is cool, too. What ever became of the official dB's reunion?

I'm told that the elder Ms. Hoffs has been a really active "stage mom" throughout Susanna's whole career, and apparently also has exactly the same singing voice as her daughter.
