I kept going back and forth between "this is kinda boring" and
"this is really cool!".  Overall rating: pretty good.  One of
the local alt. papers put the review of their new CD in the New
Age section, but said "Somehow, the Dirty Three again manage to
miss capturing the thrilling tension and hard-boiled passion of
their performances."

And his banter's not *that* bad.

The one who played with HW?  Cool!  Who'd have guessed there was
a link between HW and Steeleye Span?
