Any Decemberists fans out there?

I have to admit that they are not what anyone would consider "audiophile" quality but damn, Colin Meloy can create an earworm for me. I've been listening to "Crain Wife" and "Lake Song" lately and can't get it out of my head. Colin is amazing!

Saw them at the Greek Theatre Berkeley, Ca a couple years ago.  Great show and I have been a fan ever since.  Mesmerizing vocals, interesting different  song writing and who doesn’t like an accordion.

I am a fan of singer/songwriters in general so it makes sense to me to enjoy Decemberists. Also, I like music that tells a story and Colin is certainly one for that!

Yeah - love The Decemberists. One of my favorite performances of Colin is him singing Blues Run the Game from Inside Llewyn Davis. Great pipes.

Big fan. If you don’t have it, get Colin Meloy "Sings Live" on vinyl.

@slaw  - Thanks for the reco. Streaming Colin Meloy - "Sings Live" now via Spotify. Unfortunately the vinyl is now too expensive for me...
