the new one Getting Ready For Christmas Day? love it. based around a Reverend J. M. Gates sermon recorded in 1941, which he samples throughout.

so catchy...i've been stuck on it for weeks...the guitar line at 2:35 is so good it opens up my entire box of emotions and dumps them all on the floor...and then he sings, 'if i could tell my mom and dad that the things we never had never mattered, we were always okay...'...such beautiful forgiveness, acceptance and gratitude...what a casual genius. i saw them at the Fillmore tonight, an 8-piece band behind him, where everyone was a multi-instrumentalist...the mastery was astonishing.

here's a clip i put up from tonight: http://tinyurl.com/diamondsonthesolesofhershoes
