I think the Nashville influence in this new record is more about the storytelling and going with personal rather than social issue stuff this time around. When I heard the acoustic version of MAM, with Lorenza, Everett, and Chris????, not sure of his name, it sounds richer, fuller than the spare band only version. I like both, but livei think this song will benefit from some extra musicians.

The one thing I am after hearing parts of this record is curious to hear the rest, I really want to hear where they went with this.
