Yeah, I remember us discussing that box FR. I should revisit it. I let it disappear into my collection soon after buying.

It is fucking AMAZING, if you like, or even THINK you like, roots music. If Loudon doesn't win a shit-pot of awards this year for this, then fuck the entire music business.

Fuck, I'm watching the clips now. This is brilliant. Rob Moose is disgustingly good.

I got my copy in the mail late last week but have had a friend staying with me and not much time to spend with it. I listened to most of disc 1 at low volume one morning though and liked what I heard.
