I think they are one of the best live bands out there today. The energy they play with is infectious and while they are not breaking down any barriers, they do what they do very well. As for opening for DMB, I really couldn't care less. They have to make a living so if it is putting money in their pockets, I'm all for it as long they don't alter their music. As for Phosphorescent, Too Willie is great. I caught him at SXSW last year and he simply blew me away. His set was phenomenal and his live version of Wolves was one for the ages.

I can listen to them if I had to, but I never understood what all the fuss was about. I have a hard time getting past Finn's voice. If I had to describe them to someone it might go something like a bar band with good songwriting but the wrong voice to deliver. I was never much of a HS fan.

I'm a little surprised no one's reviewed it yet, I thought it would be right up your alley. Personally I think it fantastic. Even though it's all covers it's at the top of my best of '09 list at the moment. Just an amazing album. Has anyone listened to Phosphorescent’s “To Willie”?
