Today on the Big Box, I went back to my favourite album of 2005 - Illinoise. It’s the second in Sufjan Stevens‘ goal to do an album for every state, which started with Michigan. He’s an outstanding songwriter. I had the chance to see him in St. Louis this past Fall, and it was a fantastic show, complete with 14-piece band. Horns, strings, piano, banjo. One of those concerts that gives you shivers a few times. The song we played today is called Casimir Pulaski Day.
