I've been a fan for a while, but the last few weeks or months I've become obsessed, especially with the film Ashes of American Flags. I think it's up there with The Last Waltz and Stop Making Sense.
They have always been great, technically as good as anyone, especially now that Nels Cline has joined. The new line up sounds like Exile era Stones when the horn section join them on stage.
The live shows are amazing, they sound like the Stones and Floyd but remain a country band. The progresions are jazz-like sometimes and the time changes and chord changes are just fantastic, I find myself grinning from ear to ear watching them.
Seriously, anyone with an interest watch Ashes of American Flags.
