Nice selection, and nice to see you’re still open to such a wide variety of genres. I have to say, though, that I’m VERY surprised to see the Crowes on your list. Don’t get me wrong, I love ‘em (I have thier logo tattooed on me, for Christsakes), but to see them in your top 25 is quite a surprise.
That being said: I really liked “Before The Frost,” but “Until The Freeze” didn’t do it for me.
Rock on!
