rivers in the wasteland released today and being the giant fangirl that i am, i pre-ordered the album. i am terrible about getting to best buy to purchase a physical copy (and physical copies are where it's at!) so i knew pre-ordering was a must if i wanted to have it before they come to town in june. obviously i have to know ALL of the songs when i see the show.
got into my car this morning, took the peace of wild things by paper route out of my cd player (hadn't listened to that album in like 6 months so it was due time) and popped in my brand new, just-took-it-out-of-the-cellophane-and-it-isn't-scratched-and-the-liner-notes-aren't-fingered-and-smudged, offering from those Carolina boys.
i was floored. i had heard a couple of the tracks already but the songs that i hadn't heard yet completed the picture. i know i get weepy over songs a lot (don't judge me, we all have our weaknesses) but the title track is so earnest and honest i couldn't help but get teary-eyed.
the whole record is stellar and if you have a few spare bucks to buy it you won't regret it. and if you want a small glimpse of what they are like live, they're gonna be on Ellen on friday! you know i'll be watching (ellen + needtobreathe = YES.)
