I've been on board with Whiskeytown/Ryan since shortly after the Strangers Almanac was released and couldn't get enough of his music. Caught him with Phil & Friends at Red Rocks which was outstanding all though he did struggle a bit through some of the songs. Finally saw him with the Cardinals in Salt Lake a few years ago. It was a "good" show and speaking for the average concert goer I don't think anyone had bad things to say but I felt he phoned it in and played down to the crowd. Lost a lot of respect for him and I will not travel great distances to see him in the future. Just another reason why I love the brothers, as in 20 + shows I have yet to see them give anything but their best effort every time, all the time.

That being said - if Ryan and TAB do their thing together...I'm there.
