Wow, lot of good stuff there besides the Califone, but that's one of my favorite modern bands. Their previous incarnation as Red Red Meat is big stuff too, especially (imo) Bunny Gets Paid and There's a Star Above the Manger Tonight. But looks like you've got enough already there to last a long long time if they are new to you. They've also got a fun 2004 live CD-R called Everybody's Mother that spans their whole career up through Heron King. Already had the CD, but I picked up the Roots & Crowns silkscreened vinyl just recently and it does sound great.

Yeah. I got Jimmywine Majestic via iTunes and didn't like it very much, I'll give it another shot I guess.

That's awesome you know and like Califone!

Yea, I like Jimmywine, but it's a bit different, more straight ahead Stones and Faces type blues rock. Some fans like that phase the best, before guitarist Glenn Girard left and they went more experimental. Me, I really like what came next the most, and what continues. But Jimmywine has a bunch of great tunes, and some choice dirty guitar playing. Flank and Braindead and Lather and Dowser and others. Good record. Definitely let it soak in some more, because there is a lot of Califone in there. Brian Deck and Ben Massarella added a lot of texture to the later records, almost like a mix of the Stones and Brian Eno, and that's when I really started to like them. Just saw that Massarella is playing drums for Iron & Wine now, and Califone is touring with them. Gonna try to catch the show as it rolls through the bay area at the end of November. They put on a mesmerising live show.
