I've had a few conversations amoung friends that share the love for GPN about the snippets we've been teased with on the CD and I'll go on record saying that their are a few that don't float my boat so much as previous works.  HOWEVER - there is still good work here on this CD  - but what i really came here to say is this:

In my opinion this band should be reviewed on their body of work - and CD's truly are NOT indicative of their body of work!  In the 7 or so years this band has been in existance it's is various forms they have produced 5 CD's or 4 depending on how you look at it and if you include Original Soul.  Live in Skowhegan came out in CD on Record Store Day - wish that one came up for review - cuz that Live show that I was grateful to be present for is most indiciative of their body of work  - which is made up of LIVE SHOWS.  KC help me out here - how many gigs, festys, clubs etc has this group played in the course of those 7 or so years?

 I'd like to see a comprehensive review of their status as a hard working, live band.  THAT is their body of work and their gift to us - those that follow them on the road and listen to this dish best served live.   

Again - this is purely my opinion - but i think there may be a few who may share it - and I look forward to catching you at those live summer shows starting tomorrow!!
