I'm just talking about the song here, not the album. After seeing the video I started thinking - ok - the Bob Dylan associations are just too strong to be a coincidence. Now I've looked into it a little more and it appears there is a definite link to Bob Dylan's "With God on Our Side". You might be, like, duh... sorry I'm a little slow some times.
Anyway - awesome song - both Bruce's as well as Bob's "With God on Our Side". The first time I heard Bob's song I was blown away. I've said it before, but Bob seems to know what he's doing. I didn't know up until now that Bruce also knows what he's doing. Major props guys.

Damien Rice - O
Oh yeah - guitars, cellos, violins and vocals with an irish accent. Need I say more? I only heard about this album this week although it's been out for a while. I'm a little late on this one. Daniel told me his female friend have been raving about Damien for some time already.
Unfortunately I'm in a much too positive mood these days to fully enjoy it. Maybe I'll have to wait for the fall to take all the melancholy :) Parts of "The Blower's Daughter" have been bouncing around my head now since I first listened to it. "Cannonball" is impressive as well. I was wondering what "Volcano"sounds like - now I think it reminds me of Natalie Merchant's "St. Judas" off Motherland. I really need to listen to that album again some time (i.e. download it again).
I really feel like these days I have no problems finding excellent new music with little effort. Audioscrobbler.com is one reason, CKUA (radio station here in Alberta) is another. For example I am currently putting off checking into bands like The Killers or The Postal Service, just because I've already got so much new stuff to work through. Fortunate I am.
