I was just listening to the one-two punch of John Henry and Hold On, Magnolia yesterday. Damm.

You can replace them with the Jason solo demos if that's your thing.

I love "Old Black Hen" -- I wouldn't change anything about that song. The Scout Niblett track I love less, but I appreciate the unique flavor it adds to the record. This is one of my favorite albums of the 2000's -- none of Molina's other work ever came close to hitting me this hard.

The only ones I have are your top two (and "Pyramid" on vinyl). I like them both but I like "Magnolia" way better. I liked "Lioness" and "Ghost Tropic" well enough. I didn't care for "What Becomes of the Blues" at all.

Looking at my list again, I might drop "After the Blues" under the two live albums.

This is also my top 4 in some order I can't decide on.
I love this one from Nashville Moon:

I am kind of sick of the fact that there are so many "oral history" articles popping up nowadays, but I am looking forward to reading this one (on the recording of Magnolia Electric Co.): http://www.goldflakepaint.co.uk/jason-m ... ectric-co/

I love oral histories. I don't want to hear from a writer, I want to hear from the people who are in the story.

I've meant to mention this 100 times, but there's an authorized biography coming out next month (May 15th in the US); if you order through Secretly Canadian, it comes with a never-before-released radio sessions LP from 1995:
