The two tracks there are pretty good, and if they're indicative of the
whole CD I need it. I was a bit apprehensive, though. I saw Mitch live a
few months ago, and frankly he sounded like shizzle. I think the issue
was two-fold, though. First, it was an outdoor street festival
environment, so the acoustics were gonna suck period, and what little
audio set-up there was was for Jeffrey Dean Foster, who was the headliner
(this is the amazing rain storm show I wrote about some time back). The
other thing is that Mitch could really use a fourth piece live. His voice
is a little thin and reedy, his vocal phrasing accentuates this, and the
overall dynamic would benefit from another guitar, maybe. Or maybe a
bitchin' Hammond.

But what do I know. In any case, thanks for the heads-up, Craig. I have a
new one for the to-buy list.....
