This album has always bored me compared to gold, cold roses, st, jackonsville, 29

what is the appeal to m a ny of you on this one versus some of his other releases

For me it has to be that I was into Whiskeytown long before he had any solo albums out, so I look fondly on it as his first solo effort and love a good many of the tracks on it. I will certainly agree with you that later albums show true progression and amazing talent as it flourished, but that never dismisses the validity of where they start from to me.

I would rate it higher than 29 and S/T for sure, and on par with the others as well. It has arguably his best song lyrically ("Oh My Sweet Carolina"), plus other great Americana/Alt. Country tracks like Come Pick Me Up, To Be Young, My Winding Wheel, Bartering Lines, etc. I find it hard to believe that someone who likes Gold, Cold Roses, and Jacksonville wouldn't like Heartbreaker.

This is the craziest thing I've read on the internet in a while. 

 

Obviously, to each their own.  But I'm surprised that anyone could be bored by this record.  Its probably my favorite of all his releases.

 

 

In other news, I saw him here in Oregon Saturday night.  And he ruled.  Played all the hits, and really upped the energy/volume level, even on his slow songs.  Some of the tracks were reinterpreted (especially the Love is Hell songs).  It was an awesome show from start to finish.
