And while the location was not ideal for this band, the music [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=offbeatmusicguide.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9150907&amp;post=643&amp;subd=offbeatmusicguide&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

And in my opinion it didn’t need to be. Justin Vernon’s pining and isolation resulted in a full and complete album. He put it all on the table and left little [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=offbeatmusicguide.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9150907&amp;post=594&amp;subd=offbeatmusicguide&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
