I liked this record when I first got it. Then Justin Townes Earle pushed it out of the car CD player for a couple weeks, but now it’s back and I’m loving it more with every listen. And track eleven kicks ass.

As for Austin Lucas, like most people, I have to say the Go West demo is just better than the album track (sometimes less is more), but the whole record is really good.

This record exceeded me expectations by far.

The Austin record is great but I do wish he had the demo available as well.

I agree that those demos are tough to beat. That is why seeing Austin live is such a treat. And know that i am always talking to Jon and Drag the River about doing more than just weekends here and there. Will definitely try to send them your way.

and brandon, put that austin lucas record on; you will hopefully dig it.

I love the new Jon album especially the acoustic final track, though I was sad when I realized Remember My Name was a cover. We’ve been harassing him to come to the south (sorry AIV, Florida doesn’t count!), but could use an influential voice in his ear (Virgil??).

I got the Austin album at the show and it’s amazing too. I will admit that I like the stripped down, live version of Austin better. Compare the Go West demo with the album version to see what I mean.

This has been hands down my favorite disc of the year so far.. I just got it last week and wow just wow! (The acoustic I agree was a fantastic idea)If you dont then you should that is all.

Thanks so much for the kind words on Jon’s album. I really think that a lot of people will be surprised by how much depth this album has. It goes without saying that Jon is an amazing songwriter, but I really feel he has outdone himself with this album.

Thanks, as always, for the support. I have been hoping you would spend some time with this album.

What do you think of Austin Lucas’ “Somebody Loves You”?
