Thanks for sharing the link Dave...
Going to see Glen in Cincinnati the Tuesday before Thanksgiving,
It's gonna be a GREAT show!!

Finally got to listening to the album. I think it definitely gets better as you go along--the last 3, 4 songs I think are some of the best on the album, along with Winning Streak. I like his other solo album better upon first listen, but definitely still enjoy this new release--it's Glen, there's really never much to dislike!

Great film! That filmmaker Myles O'Reilly is stunning, everything he does I'm crazy about. Incredibly talented. Hoping for a Frames 25th anniversary film too - with lots of WHOLE SONG perfomances... one can dream...

Myles is a cool cat, met him in Ireland.

JH6056

Cool! What were the circumstances that you met him in?

buck502000

He was at a pub filming Glen.

JH6056

Wow, so you saw him "at work" creating his magic! That's an incredible-sounding experience!

Daron Oshay

He was on Opie and Jim Norton today on Sirius. Typical awesome Glen even though he was hanging with some guys be probably never heard of.

He is as chill as it gets and has the best stories.

Well this is awkward

How the f*ck did I not know about Glen's pop up show Wednesday night in NYC?? Was $15 in a tiny space. Dammit. brooklynvegan.com/archives/2015/09/glen_hansard_pl_4.html

Sam Jam check the bar "The Scratcher" in Manhattan on Sun night - Colm from the Frames is playing, and you never know if Glen will show up there or not too. He may not... but he also may...

eldarion75

For those of you who are fans or people curious about Myles work, his site is here http://arbutusyarns.net full of amazing footage from Glen, some frames shows and other bands. I recommend watching the film he made for glens tour called the little big tour of Ireland. But anything really. Myles has a magic eye. Proud to call him my friend.

Daron Oshay

Man this album is good. Glen always is.

Stay the Road is just perfect

JH6056

Beautiful video for Her Mercy! Just a beautiful video, as always, from such a talented filmmaker... Myles O'Reilly rules!
