2 months ago I had never heard of the Decemberists. Then I had the good fortune to come across this wonderful performance. Now me and my good lady are fervent admirers and followers. We sing and play their songs constantly and cannot get enough of them. Not only is 'The King is dead' a superb classic album but all their stuff is proving to be brilliant. They are a blessing upon this world and I salute them for their outstanding contribution to the art of music. Totally inspiring !

Thank you again NPR for giving us such perfection in recording. i need to look into how I could attend these performances. I would fly from Chicago in a heart beat for a day just to see these performances. They are priceless. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to who ever took the time to come up with this series.

I've been enjoying the CD The King is Dead and the live CD from that tour. Hope to hear more of their music and maybe see a show.

I'm pretty sure she was a part of their The King is Dead album and tour only. She wasn't on their most recent album. They purposely gave The King is Dead a more bluegrass-y folk feel and if you're Colin Meloy and you're going for soulfilled, violin/fiddle you might as well go get the best.
