Some Guns and Sarah came with the deluxe version of the album (iTunes I think.) Jeremiah's Blues, you can get here: itunes.apple.com/us/album/revival-tour-2012-collections/id608602874As far as I know, the only place Meserole has been available is here: (but now I see the video is private, so it's gone. But, no official release, I think) Also, there was a digital single of "Jackson" that included a non album track, "Once You Roll Over."

He kicked off the set with Maggie on acoustic, and ended the band's set with the full version. Cool! Is he doing that every night?

So great. And, where are the scene reports? ?? There is no Texas show for the time being and I want to hear the details.

Thanks for the clarification, Rich! Man, the mix is rough on Maggie. Wish I could hear the band!!!! But, so cool to see these songs with full band. Hope more dates are added soon.

OK, I'll play along, and my sense is, these will be wildly different. The album is so strong, it's hard to pick least favorites.
Favorite - "I Was Doing Fine (Then a Few People Died)" This horse wins by many lengths. I love this song so much. Easily one of my top 10 Craig compositions. I can't say enough about this track.
Least Favorite - That's where it gets hard. It was "Roman Guitars" for awhile, but the lyrics are so strong, maybe it's "Sandra from Scranton" but I like that too.
Love this record.

Definitely the best Hold Steady related packaging (album cover, liner notes, etc.) next to BAGIA. Cheers!

Fantastic. Such nice work!
I asked in the other thread, but do you think there will ever be a way to purchase them separately? I went a little nuts in the pre-order, so I don't want to get the album for the third time. ;-)

Got mine. Vikes and Oxycontins. So darn cool. Any chance we'll be able to purchase these separately? Love them!!

And you haven't even heard the best track yet!!! In love. "Christine" or "I Was Doing Fine"? I'm pretty in love with "I Was Doing Fine...."

Going to a Show was my favorite, but then Saint Peter Upside Down came along, then Trapper Avenue threw me around... for reference, for whatever positive I felt, I did not have this feeling when I first heard HIW and Teeth Dreams. And you haven't even heard the best track yet!!! In love.

I've been listening all week. Love it. Like with CHFE, I think his solo records are some of his strongest lyrics in a long time. That said, musically this one is a huge step up. I haven't been able to wrap my head around "Roman Guitars" quite yet, but the rest of the record makes me very happy.

Not for me, thread away!
This podcast makes me wish my commute was a little longer these days. Halfway through but very interesting.

Craig did another quick radio performance on his promo tour yesterday. I was lucky enough to be in the audience. Just him, acoustic, with a small Monday afternoon crowd, but so good. Setlist: Maggie Newmeyer's Roof (after this one, the gentleman in front of me turned to his wife and said, "that was good!" He was nodding his head with the music throughout the rest of the show. I'm guessing they were in their 60's. Public radio at it's finest.) Christine Dennis & Billy Up now on their site (not in order and no interview, sadly) kutx.org/musicarchive/craig-finn-kutx-8-24-15P.S. More on my record shopping trip with Craig on Sunday after he posts on Facebook. So freaking cool!

Popped on "Maggie..." as I was driving home from work yesterday. First time I've really listened to the lyrics. Wow, what a heartbreaking song, contrasted with poppy, upbeat music. Looking forward to really digesting in the context of the whole record.

I love the album cover too.
And, I love the two songs that I've heard from the record. Really, can't wait.
