R.I.P. to Kevin Junior, pictured on the album cover up top, who passed away in Jan. 2016 at age 46.
I am going with Ray Davies of the Kinks for a comparison. Waterloo Sunset.

 
I'm down with the Beatles comparisons, but I thought this sounded more like Ringo than any of the others.

Fred old friend, I couldn't let your comment about John's solo work passing without saying..........have you gone completely mad.   {#Hearteyes}

Wilco meets Kinks
Wow!  Did he just start playing this again recently after a 10 year gap?

I know a guy in this band, but I'm pretty sure they're "no longer", right?

Cool!


These guys sound just like the Dead.
We seem to have a consensus here - they conjure up images of 60\'s English pop groups of varying degrees. I\'d have to put my vote in the Kinks camp.

Yeah, sounds like Badfinger rose from the dead and conjured up George's ghost to help out.

Yeah, I got George, too. Thought maybe it was a track I hadn't heard from his new album (which, BTW, is most interesting, if a little overproduced in spots).

Same here....I like this. Can someone contribute to another song by them?
I think I can see why folks might think these guys sound like the Beatles, but I would say they are closer to the Dead than any Beatles trip. makes me think back when the Dead canceled they\'re Eugene, OR gig and people had to get by with what was local... not trying to knock Chamber Strings, but they just don\'t have the harmonic depth of the Dead.
The new George Harrison is sweet in every way!! :) This Chamber String stuff is nice..:)
I thought this was George Harrison......it\'s not? haha joking.

Ditto.

now those are two fine songs. which, by the way, i sent to bill six months ago. along with more than a hundred more. where did they go? paradise limbo?

Okay, i like this song. How bout a little more depth from these guys now?

I agree w/the Beatles cover band analogy.

Couldn't have said it any better, so I won't.
Puts me in the mood to sing-along in a dark smokey Irish bar with my arms around good friends as we sway along and talk about times of old. :)
sounds a little y\'alternative to me. and that\'s sounds good to me!
