Just read Uncut's 'best of' list last night... you have very similar taste to that of their editors. But *they* totally missed Howe, which is criminal.
I really need to purchase Hiss Golden Messenger. We're practically neighbors! :-)
Better yet, try to get them to play at your local venue. Bet you they're good live, too.
