Little Feat and Thin Lizzy are, in my opinion, the two best bands from the 70's and are both criminally underrated. Much like you and all the Vulfpeck guys. I feel so lucky to have had a chance to see you live a few years ago. Thanks for all the wonderful music.

    I think that Lee Pardini's piano playing is outstanding (and perhaps underrated) on this whole record. Such a crucial part of the sound of this record. Love hearing these well constructed and humble but impressive piano parts on an actual acoustic piano that sounds drop-dead gorgeous. I do not know what the engineers did to the bass and piano but they blend SOOOO WELL. (Check out 3:06)
