Roky Erickson and Okkervil River "True Love Cast Out All Evil"

review: The tracks and performance seem sweet (sounding strong) and direct and heartfelt - so I find the heavy strings (spirited rock & roll) and crowd-speak distracting. It is the sweetness that will (elliptical lyrical style) bring me back 4 a listen time and again.
