Okkervil River Has Enormous Talent

RECEIVED Wed., April 6, 2005

Dear Editor,
    My wife and I were so glad to see these guys (Okkervil River) recognized [“Black Sheep Boys,” Music, April 1]. We no longer have time or the lifestyle to get out and hear a bunch of music live unless it's at the Cactus, but somehow or another we stumbled across one of Okkervil River's albums, and it was one of those that remained in our home CD player for weeks getting better and better every time we listened to it. Enormous talent with both the music and the lyrics ... there aren't really many “albums” anymore where the whole package matters. Your recognition of this talent makes us feel smart, so thanks!
