I almost didn't get there with this one. 21 songs, 77 minutes (the ingrained habit of a long time ago reminding me that's nearly the upper limit for what will fit on a single cd), and a prevailing monochrome-ness in sound and dynamics presented a barrier. Lucky I kept with it though, as amongst those 21 understatedly Wilco-country songs there are many that reveal themselves, with a bit more attention, as quite lovely, and the whole thing as worth the time.
