I've been a fan for a long time, but not rabid, so I haven't seen Steve since he was at the Newport Folk Festival in 2004. With a respectful nod to fans who don't want Steve to change too much, I loved tonight's Lakewood Theatre show in Dallas way more than I had expected precisely because it's sooooo good to hear new songs! And they're terrific! I didn't even know the new CD was out but after hearing one great song after another I bought it at the show. It's the Steve I love but he's fully here today and moving forward. Thanks, Steve, it was really a great evening of music, and many, many more days of fresh CD play to come!
