Almost bought the former. Have bought the latter. Slow down, dude. Give a chance for a listen to the two previous albums you posted. Would I know you from somewhere?
Considering that I was posting in the lull between album changes, I found four hours to be plenty of time to listen to the two albums and take care of dinner as well. Some days, a good album must be savored like a good, albeit very short book. Others, the tunes must keep going and sometimes, perhaps even preferably, in a random fashion.
If my memory is holding out, I believe I commented sometime back in June when you posted here of your listening to
La Llorona. I felt then as now that Yves Desrosiers' influence on the guitars made that album more his too often than Lhasa's. Hence, why I feel that
The Living Road, which came after Lhasa tired of touring and literally ran away to the circus for a few years, is Lhasa at her best finally being free of other's influences. (A better balance of Desrosiers helping others on their albums is my prior listen of
Balagane [recognize the similarities in the covers?] where Paul Kunigis manages to be the dominant musical influence.)
