Let me say upfront that I am a huge Kings of Leon fan ever since the early days. I've got of course all three of their studio albums, but I was not aware of this release until I stumbled on this while shopping at my local independent CD store last week. I snapped this up instantly.

"Day Old Belgian Blues" (6 tracks, 21 min., released in 2006) is a live EP that was recorded in December, 2004 (in Brussels, Belgium--where I originally hail from, no less), just months before "Aha Shake Heartbreak" would be released. This EP contains four tracks from that album (Taper Jean Girl, The Bucket, Soft, and Four Kicks), which the band obviously was roadtesting at that time, and two from their debut album (their breakout song Molly's Chambers, and Trani). The band sounds great throughout. Not sure what the exact motivation is of this release, but I look at this EP as a nice little gift to KoL fans.

Since then, KoL has of course released their massive third album "Because of the Times" earlier this year, and in concert, the band has grown ever bigger in posture. I've seen KoL 3 times already this year, and they have elevated their live performances to newer, higher levels. If you have a chance to see them live, don't miss them. And this EP is a great teaser for a proper live album, which will follow for sure at some point.

KOL are at their best live and this cd really proves it!
So until the new cd with new material arrives in '07 (patinece is NOT a virtue guys!) this will have to do!!!
it makes me want to run out and see them in some sweaty little club right now...

5.0 out of 5 stars KOL - Third Album, December 6, 2006

The Kings are back, in '07, with their third album.

November 2006. After spending time earlier in the year opening for U2 & Bob Dylan, the Kings travel to Australia to do the same for Pearl Jam. I was there.

These November Australia shows, the Kings played a handful of 'new' songs. These tunes are OUTSTANDING! The wait for this album, will be well worth the time. These are songs, that, on first listen. You will be thinking to yourself, "Oh my...Oh my...I'm going to listen to this again...and again..."

This is a band, well on their way to becoming the greatest band in the world. Just imagine. In another 10..20 years, maybe the Rolling Stones will open for the Kings of Leon.
