I was disappointed with the release, and haven't listened to it much after the first few days of receiving it.

I was a bit hesitant to say so myself in view of all the positivity on here about the album, but since you've gone first

then I have to say I agree with you.

I only picked the CD up a couple of months ago and have struggled to get into it in any big way.

Ok, it's only had about 2-3 playthroughs (although the first couple of tracks got a lot more than that) but I just can't connect with it, and it falls short of his previous release for me (Purpose & Grace) which I thought was outstanding.

His banjo playing is marvellous, however 8-)

newdave: If someone says "bin diversity" do they want more receptacles or an anti woke crusade? Oct 27, 2024 15:07:00 GMT *

otis1960: Or possibly asking in local dialect if someone has attended University? Oct 27, 2024 23:39:55 GMT

otis1960: A few years ago I wrapped similarly-sized apples, onions, and potatoes in foil, and offered the bucket to visiting 'Trick or Treaters' to take a pick. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:02 GMT

otis1960: I thought this wholly in the spirit of 'Trick or Treat', but evidently I was mistaken. It didn't end well. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:57 GMT

newdave: Anyone staying up for the US election result? Nov 5, 2024 22:58:28 GMT

newdave: Anyone staying up for the US election count? Nov 5, 2024 22:58:43 GMT

scorpiodog: No, newdave. BUt I normally wake up at 5:30 so I listened to the depressing news then. Nov 6, 2024 10:05:04 GMT

newdave: I was disappointed too but I don't think I'll really feel it until next year, when it will suddenly become all too real. Nov 8, 2024 19:52:53 GMT

NikGnashers: Nice covering of snow here today Nov 19, 2024 7:20:54 GMT

newdave: Snowing in North London too. And settling. Temperature is probably too high for it to last though. Nov 19, 2024 7:58:48 GMT

borborygmus: We have snow in Northamptonshire. Road is a little slushy but clear. Nov 19, 2024 9:08:40 GMT

Onechordtrick: Exciting times here in the storm. We have a new kitchen appliance so I’m finally going to find out what fried air tastes like. Nov 24, 2024 17:45:46 GMT

ocarolan: Fried air, I'm told, makes an excellent snack when taking a break from playing air guitar. Nov 25, 2024 9:31:30 GMT

otis1960: But would you want to ingest all of those terrible trans fats? Better to poach your air - a far healthier option Nov 25, 2024 21:16:26 GMT

scorpiodog: I think we're all acquainted with a certain amount of hot air on this forum. Nov 26, 2024 13:10:02 GMT

NikGnashers: Just bought two tickets for the wife and I, to see Henry Parker and Katie Spencer in Hull, in December can't wait Nov 26, 2024 20:06:36 GMT

doc: Fried air always gives me wind. Nov 27, 2024 0:41:20 GMT
