Hey everyone. I heard a great record this week and I think this beautiful girl is from NZ. Its called The Beauty of the Rain by Dar Williams, and it is AWESOME! I wish I hadn't waited so long to pick it up.
There are tons of really great Special Guest Appearances on the album like: Alison Krauss , Stefan Lessard (Dave Matthews Band), John Medeski (of Medeski, Martin & Wood), Bela Fleck, Michael Kang (String Cheese Incident), and John Popper (Blues Traveler).
It's an amazing album!!! My favorite song is "I Saw A Bird Fly Away". Here'sa link from Dar's site, http://www.darwilliams.com/vlp/flashplayer.html where you can preview the album. I know you'll love it.
Check it out and let me know which song is your favorite?

That post seems to be written in the same overly excited voice that a lot of the spam I get is written in ("You've got try this all-natural lady-viagra!!!"). It seems like someone trying to engage in some covert marketing. Because - really - how hard is it to find out biographical information about an artist on the internet?

yep. They'll be one of those 'trendmaker' fuckers that Naomi Klein wrote about in No Logo -- dropping into chat rooms and discussion boards and encouraging people to try out the latest 'cool' thing. Or maybe I'm just being cynical...

You've got to wonder just what the Dar Williams promoter was trying to achieve. Did they really think that they wouldn't be so massively found out and shamed for it? It's probably done more damage to Dar Williams's name than good (ooh, or maybe that was the intention!).

Wooooooohoooooooo!!! That's a damn fine plan!
You sorta wonder that someone with so many 'guest performers' would need to resort to viral marketing...
