Yes! Excellent song, love the line "sometimes the blues is just a passing bird, why can't that always be?". Seems very hard to find Montezumas stuff, legally at least... Should I ever stumble upon any in some record store somewhere I'll get you a copy! :) Until then, Midsummer in Leksand! :thumbsup:

"Love is All" is my favorite song by TMOE by quite a bit, and was easily one of my favorite songs of 2010.  This version is interesting sung in a lower key, I really like it, just different.

Yeah, the more I've listened to it, the more I think I prefer the lower key one. It's a brilliant performance for sure :thumbsup:

I agree with both of you on this one though Love is All wasn't my favorite off of Wild Hunt.  I think some of the criticism of TMOE is on point in that many of the tunes sound so similar.  When he changes it up as he did above, it shows some needed versatility.  It's the same reason why I celebrate Dreamer and Kids on the Run so much.  They are a change of pace, whether it be the sparse reverb laden electric in Dreamer or the keys in KOTR.  It shows that he can be more than finger picking Swedish Dylan (for aLady).   ;)

Never listened to this dude... but the song in the first post reminds me of this....

Josh Ritter - The Temptation of Adam (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH9MhovIY9g#)

...which isn't a bad thing at all.

Definitely! I'm looking forward to hearing the movie soundtrack he's working on with wife Amanda, love them together on the live performances of Thrown Right At Me. It changes things up as well. :thumbsup:

love his lyrics and his voice..the beauty of his voice and music sometimes disguises his dark, Edgar Allen Poe-esque subject matter
