    Jason's picking is so clean. He's an underrated acoustic player. He has a hybrid picking style that includes occaisional chicken picking that makes it sound like he is finger picking except he is using a pick. Sadler is also an exceptional player...excellent accompanist.

    I have not been aware of your music but you brought me to tears with Only Children. It’s like you watched my life and put it in a song. I walked thru it all, but when you hear these lyrics it’s like yesterday. It’s so important to have these moments to keep us humble and connected to all we experience. Putting in a lock box is a dangerous thing, one moment that lock can be broken and the content spilled out in the most destructive way! Only by staying connected do we remember why we can not put our hand back in💞

    Saw him when he was with the DBT's in Birmingham UK. He strolled out with the band and told us all to: Yow awl listen up now!!! I loved that confidence and his and the bands ability just shone through. That was obviously in his drinking period. Now he has sorted himself out he is even better. Everything he plays and sings is tremendous.

    My mind is a little blown. Some of the best acoustic guitar sound I've enjoyed in a while. There is really something to be said for two players having their shit together and playing the same notes in their arpeggio's
    you hear it all the way through, but when Jason starts that second song, and then Sadler starts in it becomes obvious
    it's that kind of chorusing effect of two guitars playing the same thing about as close to perfectly identical as humanly possible. It's always going to be infinitesimal milliseconds off, and that's what gives it this sound.
    Also of note: Not seeing any fancy microphones here. Credit should go to L.R. Baggs for Sadler's case. I can't see what kind of pickup Jason is using, but it sounds great.
