Scott,
I’m not surprised they are still around. I think they can be around for a long time if they sell records. And despite the kids and other things keeping them busy, I think they WILL stay around (in one form or another) if they can sell records. I’ve been hearing from several of them that they are close to being done since during the production of Share the Well. All of that being said, I hope they stick around and continue to make music. Based on what I’ve heard about the new album, they can still put out quality stuff. I’ve heard that it not only hearkens back to 40 Acres, but is the best album since then. Why am I typing so long on a comment? Some one start a thread about this…

Old CC Fan,
do you honestly believe album sales will determine if the band is around for one more? i’m surprised they were around for this one.

the people with copies already have been good about not leaking the tracks. some of them just go blabbing all over creation that they in fact do have the album and that it is great.

I wouldn’t mind hearing the album in June when I pre-order. I’m still buying the album. I liked when Derek did it for The Ringing Bell. Digital Dpwnload please!

Look at Gaultney trying to muscle in on my territory. ;) When I do these interviews, I go to Derek. Like I will tomorrow. ;)

Yeah, I like the idea, but there’s got to be a reason this isn’t done more often. I’m guessing INO won’t let them put up a download until the beginning of August or some such similar date.

And are you quite sure five times is enough, Geof? I was thinking maybe ten times - once for every track on The Ringing Bell? Anyway: Derek - since Geof *obviously* considers you a TOP priority…how about letting ME run the interviews for the next couple of years? I’ll meet you halfway - say, at my grandparents’ house in East Tennessee?

I’d love a download in June, but I understand Old CC Fan’s concerns, so a download in August would be ok too. But June would be better =)

Geof, in my experience MP3s tend to end up on peoples websites and they share with 2 person, and then that person shares with 2 people they know, and you know how this goes. this tends to happen since everyone doesn’t order right away. my point is that you get an “acceptable” loss if you ask for pre-orders on June 15th and then provide the download Aug. 1st (or some date well after the pre-order) since most people will order just in case no one else does.

i’d love to get it early too, but i want the band to do well on this album and be around for another one more. they all have spouses and mortgages and stuff now you know…

that being said, i expect there to be a download offer at some point.

This is a great idea. I’d do it for sure. Then again, I’ll be pre-ordering no matter what.

Can the download be in FLAC format? Pretty please? :-)

Yes they should.
