Glen Hansard's PR offensive for his most excellent Didn't He Ramble album included a concert-length visit to KCRW's Santa Monica studios with a killer string section in tow (the rest of the band were no slouches either!)
There's also a halftime interview in which Glen confesses that "at one point last year the producer, Thomas Bartlett, pulled me aside and said, 'Glen, the record's no good.' I was like, 'Eeeeeurrrrgggggh!' The reason it hurt is I agreed with him. And so I went back and I fixed it up."
The fixing up worked a treat, with Didn't He Ramble a genuinely stunning collection of songs, as you can discover for yourself tomorrow when it hits the racks.
