The way I always heard it was that traditional folkies were going to this run of shows and being shocked stupid by these electric guitars and such.

I'd disagree—-there's some serious head-nodders in his back catalogue, especially when he hits that double-time flow on tracks like "11:35" and "Rickety Rackety" and such. It turns the relatively spare production into something exciting. Lately I've been bullish on that ridiculous electro pastiche in "Breakdance…

@avclub-9ff7c9eb9d37f434db778f59178012da:disqus  - I'm starting to get into Up, slowly (it's probably my girlfriend's favorite, where I'm more of a GUITARS GUITARS GUITARS kind of guy), but Fables never really connected with me in the same way the albums on either side of it in the chronology did.
