'coz the new album "Electric" is out. My pre-ordered copy arrived this morning, a bit of compensation for the delays to the delivery of my new DAW
 
I am playing it now, sounds pretty good so far, some of the best electric guitar work on a RT album for some time. The Acoustic track "The Snow Goose" with Alison Krauss on harmony vocals is the initial stand out for me however.
 
Nice production from Buddy Miller, apparently recorded on 16 track analogue.

Love Thompson's electric playing, it's really 'physical' for want of a better term.
