Its great to hear the new recordings. I still have love for the low-fi, "punk", diy aesthetic of the other recordings. Since I heard them first I cant help compare them. The guitar on the junebug waltz adds something really classy, and a bit country. I'm gunna keep on listenin. Congrads and come back north soon!

You are my favorite singer in all the whole New Orleans. Next time I go to your show, I will try to remember to bring you organic collard greens. I would bring you flowers but they haven't even germinated yet.
