Honestly at this stage in life, i listen to his solo records more. Dude has his shit down on those.

Fiestas & Fiascos probably always going to be my favorite album he’s made, but his solo stuff is so good.

 

God In Chicago would make my top 5 if I included solo songs plus THS

 

The last 3 solo records in particular, really great work.

 

I feel like we’re about due for another solo record

 

New Friend Jesus is a great early solo track too.

 

Definitely my favorite on that particular album.

mostly i consider everything from Faith in the Future on an 8/10 or better.

 

Probably my top 5 too and we got all 5 in Seattle last night. Plus a few gems like Charlemagne, Oaks, and Ascension Blues.

 

DC weekend shows coming up! Curious what the set for the small show tomorrow will be

 

Franz Nicolay write a book about how difficult it is to be a working musician these days
