Much appreciated review, Grab. I agree; although he simply cannot play a wrong note, he can sometimes get "too laid-back" in the overall song composition. He was on "A Prairie Home Companion" this past weekend, and was absolutely superb- the audience went wild, and Garrison had quite a few moments of nice conversation with him. He played six or seven songs, and used acoustic guitar, electric, and the National resonator. He did one song about Elvis called something like "Back to Tupelo" that I've never heard- it was tasty. When I come back in the next life I wanna play just like him!
