Sufjan Stevens, Come On Feel The Illinoise


This cd has found it's way into my cdp everyday this week. Seriously, I can't recall the last time an album has affected me like this.

Well recorded also.

I believe I recall reading some of those threads but hadn't tried it. After hearing Sufjan's contribution to the Joni Mitchell I purchased the Illinoise cd. Others will follow soon.
Agreed. When I first heard "John Wayne Gacy" I had to listen to it 3 times, so taken was I with the melody and lyrics.

Sufjan is incredible, but not for everyone. Most folks I've given a sampling to did not like it. I think they are missing the boat, but to each his own.
Regarding "John Wayne Gacy": It takes quite a talent to present such a terrible subject in such a beautiful manner. He's great live too.
