Re: A recommended Sugar Magnolia |
On the whole I think the melody just never grabbed me. I can enjoy it, but it's more like OMSN or Don't Ease (for me) ... it's nice enough, but usually nothing special. I get it more from having seen Festival Express, but personally it never spoke to me much. Sugar Magnolia, on the other hand, is wonderful :-)

I like "Don't Ease" too :) sure, not as weighty or important as lots of others, but always grabs me. She brings me coffee, she brings me tea ...

Re: A recommended Sugar Magnolia |
It has a similar sound to Might as Well; light and bouncy. Major chords? Similar keys? Anyway, somehow very similar, but the sound for whatever reason doesn't grab me as much.
Even though it's not a favorite overall, I do have a few Don't Eases that really stand out to me. Check out 3/24/70 and 10/29/73. I'm not saying "best" or "top 10" or anything, because I just don't know enough for that at all, but they're good ones. Like the 10/29/77 Might as Well. (Funny about 10/29s ...)
