So I'm thinking that I like the new album more than Cripple Crow, speaking in terms of the whole album. Cripple Crow has most of my favorite songs of his, but you gotta admit that it kinda jumps all over the place. The new album however, follows a steady sound/feel and still has its gems. I'm actually really loving Saved, which as you might have guessed, is about being saved, but it's such an awesome song. He has the backing choir of female gospel singers mixed with his soulful-folky sound and it sounds great. So Long Old Bean is another good one, kinda fits Cripple Crow more.

But yeah, great album, get it now.
