    Spirit of the West

    A coworker just introduced me to Spirit of the West's "Home for a Rest."  I've listened to it about 20 times over the past two days and am eager to hear more of their stuff.  I know I've seen Spirit of the West mentioned here before, and I was wondering if anyone has a favorite Spirit of the West album to recommend.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    I'm a fan of "Save This House", the album that "Home for a Rest" was released on.

    MY favorite is "Hit Parade". I posted a video of "And Venice is Sinking" on YouTube with John Mann's permission that I took this past year in Ottawa. They are one of my favorite Live bands, and will be performing on the east coast in 2008, I'm sure. Be on the look out for concert dates. Howard

    I like Tripping Up the Stairs best, but there's an old hard-to-find one called Old Material that has some great tracks on it too.

    Wow, thanks for all the suggestions!  It's nice to be able to rely on everybody here to give recommendations.  I've learned about so much great music through GBS and the OKP.  Thanks! 

     P.S. I'll definitely keep an eye out for East Coast concert dates.  Thanks!
