"The question asked at the beginning of this thread" was "thoughts?" If this is a ridiculous question, then it can only be because you are incapable of thought. How I pity you.

I am amazed at how personally offended people get. I asked for thoughts, and got attacks. Maybe y'all can't tell the difference.

Some of the comments have been helpful, however. Like saying that this isn't Lavin's best album.

I didn't "Select" these two albums as if there were twenty Lavin albums and twenty Bogle albums and I grabbed the two most dissimilar ones in order to skew the comparison. I was searching through the Folk CD's and found two I wasn't familiar with and grabbed 'em.

You'd think I said that I'd shot your dog or something. I wanted some input on these two albums I checked out and I get bootthroated. Sheesh.

Some of y'all need to get lives.

To those who actually said something useful, thank you very much!
