I am going with Ray Davies of the Kinks for a comparison. Waterloo Sunset.

I'm down with the Beatles comparisons, but I thought this sounded more like Ringo than any of the others.

Wilco meets Kinks

Wow!  Did he just start playing this again recently after a 10 year gap?

I know a guy in this band, but I'm pretty sure they're "no longer", right?

We seem to have a consensus here - they conjure up images of 60\'s English pop groups of varying degrees. I\'d have to put my vote in the Kinks camp.

Yeah, sounds like Badfinger rose from the dead and conjured up George's ghost to help out.

Yeah, I got George, too. Thought maybe it was a track I hadn't heard from his new album (which, BTW, is most interesting, if a little overproduced in spots).

Same here....I like this. Can someone contribute to another song by them?

I think I can see why folks might think these guys sound like the Beatles, but I would say they are closer to the Dead than any Beatles trip. makes me think back when the Dead canceled they\'re Eugene, OR gig and people had to get by with what was local... not trying to knock Chamber Strings, but they just don\'t have the harmonic depth of the Dead.

I agree w/the Beatles cover band analogy.

Couldn't have said it any better, so I won't.

Puts me in the mood to sing-along in a dark smokey Irish bar with my arms around good friends as we sway along and talk about times of old. :)
