Charlie released a new cd yesterday called "Beautiful Day." It is his divorce album. All the songs were written as he was going through his breakup with Emily Robison. She's in a little band called the Dixie Chicks.
I won 2 tickets to the KGSR live, on air performance at their in-house studio. This is very cool. Have been once before, Lyle Lovett. It's a small room, great acoustics. Shows last about a 1/2 hour.
Later in the day they did the free cd release show at Waterloo Records. Pretty much the same songs played as earlier, just not in the same order.
Charlie has a new band: lead guitarist, keyboard, drums, steel/dobro and bass player. This album rocks as does this band.
He always been known as pretty much country, what I like to call redneck country because when you go to his shows, boy, you know you are in the South.
Anyway, he writes great songs. New Year's Day, Poor Man's Son, Life Of The Party.
I like this record much and I have only played it once. Already have a couple of songs that keep echoing through my head: Beautiful Day, Yellow Blues and Reconsider.
Got some pretty good videos at Waterloo. 3 songs that all sound very different form each other. Check them out:
