I almost hate to admit it, but Episode #4 features a band that I have only been listening to fairly recently. The reason I say that is that the John Butler Trio really should have been in my CD player a while ago considering their style matches so close to bands like Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, and G Love and Special Sauce which I am huge fans of.  Another reason that they should have been in my CD player is that they are really damn good. 

I was fortune enough to see these guys live at Wakarusa this year and really got to see an excellent performance.  This Australian trio really has a good variety of songs to get your toes tapping.  I especially enjoy their up tempo song Funky Tonight which is, as the name suggests, quite funky.

Song listing
1) Daniella
2) Gov' Did Nothing
3) Zebra
4) Good Excuse
5) Better Than
6) Funky Tonight

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.

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.

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

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!

North Mississippi Allstars 2007-06-07 Wakarusa Lawrence, KS.flac24

A special thanks goes out to all the tapers for making this possible.
