    If anybody in LA finds themselves with an extra ticket to any of Gary's 3 Troubadour shows, I'll gladly take it off your hands. While trying to rally my brother into going, the shows sold out. :(

    Thanks!

    New album streaming on iTunes. Kinda all over the place stylistically, but I like what I've heard so far. Still blown away by "When My Train Pulls In," which he opened with at Coachella.

    Missed him in NYC, missed him at MIA, so really hoping I'll be able to see him in DC next month!

    Will be buying next Tuesday for sure. Gary tweeted that the vinyl version will be available in stores on Nov 23. Will most likely be buying that too... 8-)

    My preorder CD came in the mail yesterday. I gave it two solid listens.

    Maybe I'm a little out of the loop but I was TOTALLY shocked by some of the songs on this album. Blak and Blu and The Life are straight up R&B songs. There's another one too I believe.

    The rest of the album is the normal kick ass blues type stuff we have heard from Gary (although Ain't Messin Around is a lot more pop then I'd thought his first single would be). there's a little Stevie Wonder vibe in some songs also, which is a good thing.

    The "R&B" songs are good (I guess) but I think they destroy the flow of the album. I was so pumped to burn a copy of this for my uncle who is a blues maniac, so I'm gonna have to just take those songs off.

    That being said the "blues" sings are incredible (and he should really stick to this). When My Train Pulls In is definitely the highlight. Also loved Numb and Glitter Ain't Gold the best. The version of Third Stone/If You Love Me is good, but the live version on HWUL Raw Cuts is not surprisingly way more ferocious.

    Just still a little confused why he didn't make a 100% rock/blues album. I've seen him three different times this year (and a 4th coming in Nov) and never thought he had any other side to him other than just kick ass guitar insanity.

    Aaaaand crap, looks like I have somewhere to be on that day! Damn! Still gotta listen to the new album. I've heard it's quite good, but way all over the place. Will have to see for myself!

    Preorder came with the two iTunes bonus tracks and also HWUL Raw Cuts Vol. 2, which is 7 live tracks. They will also be sending Vol. 3 in December.

    This guys live stuff is just incredible.

    So i like the album. As i was worreid it has a bit too polished sound with the production for my taste and soemtimes a little more pop friendly than i like. I really like the dirty blues sound he gets live. That said i'm enjoying it.

    The outro solo on when my train pulls in..... :o :shock: :mrgreen:

    Kills me everytime
