The Minus 5 "Killingsworth"

Wow, I've got to start getting better quality photos than this one...

Anyway, this record was just too country for me. Not that this is a "country " record, it's just not what I had expected after the "Gun" album in 2006. Loved that record! Played lots of it on my "PM in the AM" program on WPRK. For "Killingsworth" you have Scott McCaughey & Peter Buck, along with some of the Decemberists, and I still didn't like it enough to keep. Short (less than 4 minutes), quick well-written songs, but it just didn't work for me even while on a country bent. It received some excellent reviews, and even appeared on one respected "Best of 2009" list.
