@bslon, agree on wicked gravity-- not to be a downer but i did think the production on the record was kinda flat/compressed, which is really surprising since (i just learned) it was engineered by bob clearmountain, who usually makes things sound huge.
my pick du jour--gillian welch/hell among the yearlings. like navin johnson says in "the jerk", there's something about those songs that depress me...
