Wednesday Intermezzo: K-Dub’s ODD

Scott Bernstein August 12, 2009 5 Comments

Today marks the release of Keller Williams’ fantastic new studio album, ODD. I’ve never been a big K-Dub guy until I caught and enjoyed the fuck out of his recent set opening for the Dark Star Orchestra on Governor’s Island. He was so entertaining that I decided to check out his Once A Week Freek download series including a number of tracks from ODD and they were all really good. Check it out for yourself as here’s Doobie In My Pocket.

ODD is available at www.kellerwilliams.net and at KW’s live shows.

Let’s take a look at what else is happening this week…

Also, Umphrey’s has announced the details of their first West Coast tour since last October which includes stops in Spokane, Seattle, Eugene, West Hollywood and more.

Japandroids: Post-Nothing

Shawn Donohue August 12, 2009 No Comments

Post-Modern, with its simple cover and clever hooks, lulls the listener into a sense of security before kicking said listener right in the ass. “Will we, find our way back home?!?!” is not just a chorus; it’s a mission.

The Black Crowes: Warpaint Live

Doug Collette August 12, 2009 No Comments

Though it is totally without frills or DVD bonuses, Warpaint Live represents a fine document of the Black Crowes’ progression since their reformation in 2005. Like its double CD counterpart, the DVD version includes all the material on Warpaint, their first studio effort in seven years as well as cover material that accurately reflect their roots.

Pete Yorn: Back & Fourth

Pete Yorn’s latest go-round with Columbia records, Back & Fourth, is a departure in both his writing and recording career. His first album in three years, following the trilogy collection, is a depiction of a difficult period in his life.
