I recently saw Brandie Carlile in concert and they opened up with the uke number. She’s got this AMAZING voice, and put on a great show. Glad to see it on the site! -Amber
…What a selection!!!…I love The Coral cover, and a really ingenious video…that old uke, melodica, double bass combo again, awesome…I’ve been dreaming about getting an 8 string but the Izumi vid’ has thrown the six string into the mix…Oh what to do…I know, get both!…and then the resonator…then the baritone…then the banjo uke…UOGB for me on friday, BRING IT ON!!!
Many thanks for posting my latest, Al. It’s a thrill to be there alongside such fine talent. Wonderful variety, too.
Amber: She does have a stunning voice. I’ll have to check out more of her stuff.
Nick: At the moment I’m tempted by a Uklectic and an effects board.
Tim: Thanks for you contribution.
Wow, a bumper selection. You are the best uke site on the net!
Bossarocker: Thanks, but all credit has to go to ukulele peeps of the internet.
The Tuesday, Oct. 13, Ukulele Noir is the release party for
Craig’s new CD, Under the Mystic. Psychic Hamster Records
just sent me an email yesterday saying they were shipping it, but it’s not listed on their site yet. Sent them an email & left a comment at
Ukulelia asking for clarification. In any case, it’s only a few more days until it’s official.
I really liked The Side Street Steppers music! Cheers, Igor
Thanks for spreading the word on brandi carlile. I have been following her since 2006
Great performance from Exoticorn there.
…yep, that Pete Howlett certainly knocks up some fine looking instruments…I’ve watched the whole series Uklectic building vid’s on youtube…his attention to detail is something else…I wish I had the cash…
That Herman fellow is off the chains!
Thanks for another great uketube.
ron: Thanks for the info. I hear Craig is planning a European tour. Very exciting.
Igor: Me too. The Asylum Street Spankers do a top notch version of that song as well.
Krabbers: Looks like I’m late to the Carlile party.
Byjimini: Excellent. I hope he’s going to be posting more soon.
Annie: That’s a new expression on me. I like it.
I looooooooove Brandi! I bought the new album and heard this song and got so excited about the uke and Brandi being together! Thanks for posting this. The Brandi song sounds very Beatle-tastic to me.
Great stuff; enjoyed them all and especially Rocky and Balls on Lovecake. Looney Tunes
The new CD “Under the Mystic” will be up on the Psychic Hamster website on Tuesday the 13th of October. The “official” release date.
Sorry if there is any confusion.
Kelly: Well, that about settles it. I’ll have to write up the song.
Ron: I didn’t think that was one of their best. But still pretty great.
Craig: Thanks for clearing that up.
I love Craig Robertson’s version of “Half over you”.
C&W on the uke! Great!
Jeez I must be getting old!
Alan
Another great selection, Al! Well done as always.
Alan; Thanks! but I just consider it a good song. George Jones has been there, and, better yet, he took notes.
You don’t have to be old to like C&W. My 13 year old daughter likes some of the songs.
Thanks for including our silly little vid. We had too much fun making it. If only you could hear the ‘real’ soundtrack… “More bubbles!” “More kayak!” “Someone pick Megan up!” “Nigel – hot water bottle!” etc etc. Loving what you do, as always. x WIUO x
Alan and Craig: I love country. But I’m definitely getting old.
Acilius: Thanks.
WIUO: James Cameron did the same thing when he made Titanic.
Woodshed: Over here in America, it’s not “hip” to like country and rock and roll or folk at the same time. Why??? Who knows?
Although Jack White produced Tammy Wynette’s last CD. so there.
Ahhhh!! I love the Brandi Carlile one! I’ve never heard of her before! Thanks for sharing!
Jessica: Another Brandi lover!
[...] must admit I had no idea who Brandi Carlile was until I saw this clip. But when I posted it on the Saturday UkeTube there was an outpouring of love from the ukers. [...]
