To help make links back to this site, I've started putting some relevant reviews on the excellent No Depression site. If you don't know, No Depression used to be a paper magazine featuring Americana or alt-country or whatever you want to call it. (Their 'artist of the decade' was Alejandro Escovedo, if that helps you get your bearings... a sound choice, of course.)
Anyway, you can catch up on a bit of debate about The Decemberists here and the No Depression front page, which deserves regular look, is here.
