Album Picks #2: Instant Karma Jun 25, 2007

Show notes

I recently picked up the new Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur CD and was very pleased with my purchase. Not only is this a great CD to listen to, the proceeds go to help out the victims of the tragedy facing Darfur so you really can't go wrong buying this one. This CD features covers of songs written by John Lennon performed by artists from many genres. While not all the tracks are guaranteed to float your boat, almost anyone is bound to find some favorites. Personally, I enjoyed U2 covering Instant Karma, Jack Johnson on Imagine, and Regina Spektor's take of Real Love. To be perfectly honest though, I can listen to both CDs without skipping any tracks.

Featured Stream #3: Ray LaMontagne - Washington, D.C. - 12/11/06 Jun 21, 2007

Show notes

Ray LaMontagne's popularity has grown exponentially since I first heard his music a couple years ago. This rise in popularity can easily be attributed to some fantastic songs on both his studio CDs. It's also impossible to deny that the passion he puts into his performances has propelled him equally as much. Ray has one of those unique voices which can hold it's own without the aid of fancy effects or powerful guitars and is immediately recognizable. NPR continues to amaze me with the selection of live performances that they host on their site and I was pleasantly surprised to find one of Ray's shows there. Although there are a few technical issues throughout the show, Ray still manages to pull off an enthralling set that leaves you wanting more.

Podcast #3: Jack Johnson - Paris, France - 03/06/06 Jun 18, 2007

Show notes

Episode #3 brings one of my favorite artists of all time to the Live Music Podcast, Jack Johnson. This recording comes all the way from Le Zenith in Paris, France and sounds just as good or better than ones I've heard in the states. If you aren't a big fan of crowd noise you might notice a lot of clapping and singing along, but on this one it really adds to energy rather than being a distraction. Another thing that makes this concert special is the addition of several members from ALO (Animal Liberation Orchestra) sitting in with the band. Jack's songs really come alive with a little help from a piano, harmonica, and even accordion. Plus they mix in several very interested cover songs to keep you on your tows. Enjoy the show!

Song listing 1) Banana Pancakes 2) Do You Remember 3) Bubble Toes 4) Wasting Time 5) Belle 6) Girl I Wanna Lay You Down 7) Mudfootball 8) The Horizon Has Been Defeated 9) Good People

New Downloads #1: Wakarusa 07 Jun 15, 2007

Show notes

I have made the decision to add a new category to my blog and I am calling it "New Downloads". This category became necessary to me when I found that I didn't have time to create a podcast for all the great new shows I've been downloading, but I still wanted to have the ability to share them. Especially now that summer is rolling around the tapers have been very busy and live shows are coming in much more frequently. For the first posting in this category I decided to make it a themed post around the Wakarusa festival near Lawrence, KS. For those of you unfamiliar with this festival it is basically a 4 day camping, music, and arts festival which brings together lots of great bands from many genres, but primarily focusing around the jam band scene. Below you will find links to performances by Widespread Panic, Les Claypool and his Fancy Band, North Mississippi Allstars, and more.As always you can support these artists by buying CDs and watching them live!

Podcast #1: Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds - Las Vegas, NV - 10/27/06 May 22, 2007

Show notes

The first episode of the Live Music Podcast features one of my favorite downloads of 2006, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. This is an outstanding recording of an equally great performance. Even if you are not a fan of their music individually, you have to appreciate the energy that occurs between these two when they jam together. If you are already a fan you will probably enjoy versions of some of the newer Dave Matthews Band songs.

Song listing 1) Old Dirt Hill 2) Gravedigger 3) So Damn Lucky 4) Down By The River 5) Smooth Rider 6) Save Me

Album Picks #1: Griffin House - Lost & Found May 01, 2007

Show notes

sAlbum Griffin House is a new artist that I found with one of the those Itunes recommendedations when looking up Ray Lamontagne. That right there is reason enough to check out this CD, but beyond that I think that Griffin House a great artist and I think that, like Ray Lamontagne from about 2 years ago, he is about to get a lot more popular. You can listen to a lot of his music directly from his website. If you dig his style, I'd recommend buying "Lost & Found" below. Lost and Found More... Purchase on Itunes More from Itunes...
