I don't agree. I do wish the vocal harmonies were more prominent but Marny and Emily are doing some fantastic instrumental work. The kind of stuff that's nowhere on Natalie's solo record. I actually hear more of their contributions on this than a good amount of TTLW. They even questioned their role during the making of that album (TTLW).
It does not surprise me that this your take.
It's... never mind. Have a great night, MD.
I'm just giving you a hard time.
The sparseness of the instrumentals on this really showcase Maines' voice. At times it distracts from the cool little bits there are. That's what I meant by it seeming like a solo album.

That all being said, Maines sounds great.

Listen, I'm a fan of their early stuff. I listened to it a lot. But I just can't get into this. I think MD touched on some points that I feel the same way about.

The vinyl copy we ordered arrived today. Just got done spinning it and it sounds great.
More importantly, it was my first time with the liner notes, and wouldn't you know it, Annie Clark is credited with electric guitars on Texas Man!
