Continued Plight of the Cursed Diamond
Bob’s new album, Tell Tale Signs: Bootleg Series Vol. 8, became available on the eighth.
As if assembling the future wasn’t hard enough.
It contains unreleased and live music spanning from 1989 to 2006 (Oh Mercy to Modern Times.)
The Limited Edition comes with a third CD that is as good as the other two.

You’d have to be an automaton to keep from getting teary-eyed at Ring Them Bells.
