 oh, yes.

but there seem to be at least two factions: one pre-nashville/good dog... 
(i.e.
more experimental) the other groovin' to the post-industrial americana of 
his
more recent albums. i, for one, like both facets of his work; seeing him 
live
with liesz made a believer out of me with respect to his recent material.
hearing him play around with short loops and delays while liesz created
mellifluous gobs of distorted tonal splendour on a lap steel is quite
something.
