These guys just rock.

And, no; despite the title, this post has absolutely nothing to do with Lutheran heritage.

I’ve been streaming this fantastic record. Glen Hansard, Lisa Hannigan (formerly of Damien Rice’s band), Josh Ritter, and more singing mid-tempo rock. Maybe too mellow for some, but I’m Irish; this sort of stuff is in my blood.

Give it a listen here.

And I, too, went on my way, the winning and losing, or what
Is sometimes of all things the worst, the not knowing
One thing from the other, nor knowing
How the teeth in Time’s jaw all snag backward
And whatever enters therein
Has less hope of remission than shark-meat

– passage from the poem American Portrait: Old Style, by Robert Penn Warren
