Butch Walker Live in Chicago New Year's Eve
Date: January 04, 2013 06:17PM
Fantastic show per usual from Mr. Walker. He had a couple of familiar faces with him in the band. Some guys from his Black Widows and Stacy Jones (American Hi-Fi) stepped in on drums for the night. He played a typical set, mostly pulled from his last 3 or 4 albums.
The highlights were an a capella version of Cigarette Lighter Love Song to open the set and the inclusion of 3 new songs from his upcoming album. They follow pretty closely with his last album, The Spade. Rootsy with some Elvis Costello/Tom Petty-isms.
Great night. Here's the setlist:
