The Wild Magnolias They Call Us Wild
The Wild Magnolias were an American Mardi Gras Indian ensemble that merged traditional chants with a funk rhythm section.

Now I'm not eating there twice as much.

GILLIAN WELCH & DAVE RAWLINGS

'The Way It Will Be'

Tightly composed pop songcraft vs bombastic, sprawling arena rock. It turns out that the succinct statement can succeed in ways that the overblown oratory cannot. (But I don't have to chhose)

Many times, since I have spend most of my life in or near the Ouachita mountains. But many of my favorite finds were when I wasn't really looking, when points wink reflections from a distance at campsites, in dirt roads, and hiking trails.

that's stunning. Thank you.
