The main instrument heard in the song was a steel guitar and I didn't see one with the musicians around Deacon! Instead there was a fiddler and a guy on mandolin and I couldn't really hear those instruments in the song. I would consider this a visual "continuity" issue. Is it just me or is Lindi Ortega's vocal style really annoying? Sheesh. As for physical media adding to the experience, I heartily agree! LP record albums were the best but CDs in jewel cases are okay. Now most CD's I buy (from indie artists) are in those crappy little cardboard sleeves that are worthless and don't have an edge where you can read when they are stacked in a box! This will only hasten the impending demise of CDs and that's a shame. On last night’s Nashville I was bemused by Deacon’s performance at the Bluebird.
