Thanks for the Ned C. rec, Scott--going to give a full listen, but on first flip-through that synth arpeggio incorporation on Track 2 is tastefully surprisingly/well-integrated into the folkiness IMO!
Nat Baldwin seems like a v cool fellow indeed--first heard of him through his Dirty Projectors membership.
As an intermediate Cass listener/fan I'd rec next getting into Catacombs and then Big Wheel, maybe?

(Oh, I now grok that you've already heard a good am't the Cassster and are re-listening, gotcha)

i like Catacombs a lot. i could see that being someone's fave Cass. that has such great songs on it. i wouldn't mind having that on vinyl. 2XLP.
still listening to Wit's End and "Buried Alive" is up there for me too. sounds so good. the guitar especially.

I remember "Memory's Stain" really blowing me away, too--am in need of a relisten myself!
Have only cherrypicked/skimmed through his Anti- output in recent years, am now thinking I should attempt to give those later albums some (mangy) love

gotta agree wit's end is impeccable

Scott, have you ever listened to this? Cass is in this group:

that Skiffle Players album never clicked with me. I kinda want to sell it, given the prices it seems to get.

I saw him play a small intimate gig with Steve Gunn last Thursday. They did a gorgeous psychy rendition of "Wild Mountain Thyme".

Skifflin'! oh man no i didn't know about that one.

"County Line" is one of my favorite songs.

that Ned Collette album i praised above is kinda like the new Taylor Swift. the first LP is perfect and all you need out of an album and then some. BUT if you want more there is a 2nd LP.

The “Coo Coo Bird” cover is good! I like the Skifflin’ album
