i've been listening to Storyville a lot lately. it's pretty solid, from the opening track, to Hold Back The Dawn, Soapbox Preacher (i rather like Garth Hudson's opening synth bass line and Neil's raggedy vox), and especially What About Now...and, of course, Shake This Town. JR Robinson's drum track just smokes, with Ginger Baker's little 'skip snare' overdubs, very cool. you can definitely hear db in the chorus. Ricketts co-wrote and played some things on it, too. good album.

i really love Robbie's Native American stuff, but yeah, it's time for him to do a new one. who does he think he is? Baerwald?
