I wonder what the common thread is here? Maybe we are all just big music fans with very diverse tastes? I agree that "Twisted" would be my favourite CD. They have just released a new CD (the first in 4 years or so) called "Can you do me good?" - hence the tour to support it. It's a real grower - a bit melancholy and bitter in places, but as always, with great lyrics and melodies. They don't have a marketing deal in the US for this CD, so you'll only be able to get it via places like www.amazon.co.uk. There is one track on the new CD that may get them airplay (in a similar vein to "Roll to Me") called "I'm just a drunk in a band". It'd be nice for them to be successful commercially - they've been playing for 20 years now - but maybe it's a bit like DB - they'd lose something of themselves by trying to please the record companies, and we like them for their integrity and individuality. Anyway, nice to know there's a fellow enthusiast out there!
