This is my first listen of Califone, ever. Roots & Crowns is so good. What's up with this band? How could I have not listened to them before? They have almost as many albums as the Rolling Stones. Which other ones do I get? Thanks Mr. Hyman to turning me on to them by the way.

I find this band so soothing. Pretty much matches my Saturday morning mood, lazy and a little melancholy.I don't have many specifics on them, I think Califone is a Chicago band; but I am sure that you will not find more interesting instrumentation.
