Good Intentions Paving Company

(via)
I'm a HUGE Joanna Newsom fan. I am head over heels in love with everything this woman has every released, and it appears that Have One on Me is only going to further my love for Ms. Newsom.

I can't believe that the release of the new record is only three weeks away! It is probably a bit pathetic that I'm this excited for a record, but I don't care. About a week ago, Drag City started streaming the first single from Have One on Me, but in the last 24 hours, the label released a second song.

There is no question that Good Intentions Paving Company is a Joanna Newsom track, but the song does have a different feel than anything she's previously recorded. Joanna's voice sounds better than ever - how about that vibrato! - and parts of the track sound like a downright romp, at least by Newsom standards.

The track is streaming at Drag City's site here, but can also been heard with some nice visuals here.

This track is a real grower. It took me a couple of listens to get it, but this could be her best song yet.
