Comment:	No review of the mighty Willard Grant Conspiracy? We have the technology... In the band's second visit to Greenbelt, they played two sets of their more acoustic alt-folk/country/desert songs in the Perfomance cafe, the (sadly) now clean shaven frontman Robert Fisher with a lead/slide guitarist and a cello for the Saturday slot. Mainly taken from the more acoustic of their recent albums (Regard The End) these songs are unafraid to deal with big themes like faith, love and loss whilst rooted in deep south americana (tales of old school rural preachers, dying grandparents set to evolved folk tunes and, as a personal favourite, God, the Devil and a Seattle basketball coach). Fisher sings with a deep baritone and plays with the confidence and laid back repartee with the audience of a man who seriously knows his alt-country game. The second guitarist might have used a little more rehearsal time, but with the band structure (best part of 40 members spead out over the world) that might unrealistic. The cello dramatically filled out the tunes on the Saturday. Overall though it managed to sound loose rather than ragged. In conclusion, an excellent fit with the weather and the overall festival vibe this year.
