Joe Pug: Live At Schubas (2009)

05/04/2009

Rarities

Joe Pug’s debut EP Nation Of Heat was a CO favorite, so I’m waiting in anticipation for his upcoming full-length. Recently, someone was nice enough to record and post a live set from Joe here. The show was recorded May 1st at Schuba’s tavern in Joe’s hometown of Chicago. I couldn’t find a track listing on the download page, so I’ve done my homework and figured it out as best I could for you. I’m not entirely certain about the track titles for the new songs, so don’t take this as the gospel:

1. How Good You Are / 2. Hymn 35 / 3. I Do My Father’s Drugs / 4. Interlude / 5. Call It What You Will / 6. Lonely Heart / 7. First Time I Saw You / 8. Messenger / 9. The Door Was Always Open / 10. Nobody’s Man / 11. Speak Plainly, Diana / 12. Interlude / 13. Not So Sure / 14. Hymn 101 / 15. Bury Me Far & Nation Of Heat / 16. Ol’ 55 (Tom Waits Cover)

Below is a sampling of some of the new tracks. Very promising. Can’t wait to hear the studio versions. – Capt. Obvious
