Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - Page 2

Sometimes you know after a few listenings that music has staying power. I still like Sgt. Peppers, Court of the Crimson King, Chicago Transit Authority, Disraeli Gears, Remember Two Things, etc. This CD ranks in that personal pantheon. Having reread my review, I had it mostly right. The songs are complex, yet catchy in their own way. Tweedy uses many extraneous sounds, but they seem perfect for the CD. If you do not know this CD, please find a way to sample it. I hope you like it as much as I do.
