In my humble opinion : Easily the album of 2020 in terms of Folk/Indie genre 🙌

[@krupboom]

Completely!

[@clairemeyler7714]

I've heard people say "This gave me chills," and always assumed they meant it figuratively. This music literally sent shivers of delight down my spine through my ears. This is falling in love at first listen. Chills.

The sounds that guitarist can make with that instrument --- he's like the Jimmi Hendrix of Indie-Folk. And the harmony vocals can bring you to tears.

[@timetravelerswife08]

I love that the last verse from "Deep in Love" is a play on a verse from "The Water is Wide" - "there is a ship/and she sails the sea/she's loaded deep, as deep can be/but not as deep/as the love I'm in/and know not I/if I sink or swim."

[@ShaneYoung]

Thank you to the universe for bringing these three incredible creatures together.

[@mrwizard6787]

You know we look back at the videos of all the great folk singers and looking up at the greats ? These are those days

[@dallasswoveland4466]

So good. Didn't realize Josh was in the Zissou society.

[@therusteddreammachine777]

I love this band

[@bluelava4282]

Fantastic tunes… Eric Johnson is Talented beyond belief…… Bought all the Fruit Bats, now I’m buying BLH CDs…….. 🎶

[@SeaFeezle]

In LOVE with these beautiful arrangements and all the history behind them. Very cool.

[@billbernhard3582]

Such strident connection and imagery in these tunes - reaching and hoping to land in the realm, right on target - "like drinking the water in a deep well" - lovely ! Anything but ubiquity, I'd say !

[@mattyb0923]

I love this guitar arrangement with the finger picking. Wow. Really moving.

[@acidpalace]

Obsessed!

[@SafiaOs]

such a beautiful trio !

[@cavewaller]

the guys are pretty damn good too (I got into these as Anaïs’ latest recording) an I’m old n out of touch. Is it rude t ask if that’s baby number 2? Spose while I’m at it was the 2020 tour cancelled/ rearranged does anyone know?

[@ShaneYoung]

Could well be the best thing I've ever watched and heard.

[@finnnielsen3596]

[@meyerjp3]

Incredible band. So perfect!

[@beatingheart100]

Thanks for this. Yeah, it's one of the albums of 2020, pooling a lot of talent imo, good to hear a decent interview, too!

[@itube027]

Beautiful

[@sidtedtilley]

Beautiful voices. Nuff said !

[@MrMetalyogi]

You guys sound great!!! 'nuff said!!

[@timothygessing3381]

Great show man.

[@qwerty123860]

Found out about this group from the UNCUT cd included in the 03/20 issue . The Roving ... just WOW !!!!!!!

[@marchelleceryes3542]

My new favorite enjoy sending them to friends Bonny light horseman . Want them to come Fargo.

[@malibumusicnews1371]

Found it on coast2coast

[@paulpazniokas6099]

They're soooo good - but I'd like to point out that the WXPN video of this song is _much_ better sound engineered. And yet most of us New Yorkers always seem to think we have the best talent. Not in this case! Check out that other version.

[@vestcoat]

That was so relaxing and lovely to listen to. I am going to buy their CD today! Do they still make CDs?? Love these guys....Thank you!

[@iammurphy]

Talk about an amazing super group. Though I’m a bit biased due to being a Fruitbats fan. Eric can do no wrong lol

[@cavewaller]

Keep tryin t find adequate words. Just gonna say this is sublime (?sp) xxx

[@standardofexcellence]

Roving has same chord progression as down at the uptown by hiss golden messenger but I like both songs, prefer deep in love

[@Thisispants]

Amazing band. The mix is a bit off here though....

[@sophiafakevirus-ro8cc]

"There are always incredible musicians wondering around..." I can't find any real musicians, I'm on the wrong part of the earth.

[@user-zb2bp4in9b]

wonderful song. Anais makes such odd gestures while she sings. I

[@mheitchue]

Great band! Why does this start at 2:08? Was he doing something important to get ready????

[@jamespytlik796]

Thank you guys so much, it just warms my heart.
