Ida pure listening pleasure

"Ida have now released their SEVENTH record not including live albums, 7", various EPs and other worthy sides. Highlights here are many, recorded in Levon's barn in Woodstock, NY, the Catskills do extreme justice to the warm tones of Ida's acoustic soulk. No that is not a typo. Dan and Liz are the most souful folk folks out there bringing it with Karla and Jean Old-Tyme school. Please enjoy "The Killers", "For Shame of Doing Wrong" compliments of Richard and Linda Thompson's penmanship as well as"Gravity", and "Willow Tree"...highlights if need be. The whole records seethes like a humid Hudson Valley summer day and crackles like a Lake Hill February fire."
Ida for you

"I've heard this album about five times now and am still making up my mind about it. Parts of it seem more conventional than their earlier work. But it fills me with joy. Ida is one of the best bands in the universe."
