Overcome with sadness at the passing of one of my favorite writers, I spent the last few days listening to no one else. Jason Molina's voice was like magic, and his words combined with his voice equaled transcendence. I didn't know him personally, only chatted with him a few times. But I know his work, in particular the Songs: Ohia material from The Lioness through Magnolia Electric Co. I know those songs, I've studied them like maps of old, that charted dark and scary places that most never venture to, few come back from.
In Jason's words: "Almost no one makes it out."
This little song of mine doesn't hold a candle to the majesty of his craftsmanship, but it's what came to me. I hope it is at least honest. I hope there are many more Molina tracks to yet be revealed. I know he was constantly at work. I hope he died with a moment of peace and clarity. His work has given me many of them.
Thank you Jason. love -m

I got a job, so I could finally buy this album and stop listening for free on Bandcamp. Awesome rock music, especially the second half of the album. Lovdahl, Ian

This is just one of those albums that are in the perfect place at the perfect time. If you described it to me, I probably wouldn't listen to it, so just go listen to it. Seriously. You'll be glad you did. Morgan LaVigne
