Yup! I just got the e-mail and ordered a renewal membership and the CD. I made a mistake when I ordered and ordered both at the same time, rather than renew, then login to Homespun and order the CD from there, so Live got an extra $10 from me, but I really think this idea is great, so I'm all for giving them a little extra.

ALLRIGHT, PEOPLES! Yous that will be seeing the band this weekend and getting the CD right now MUST post thoughts about the 2 new songs. I'm curious as to how they do (or do not) rock.

I just ordered mine! Woohoo! Hope everyone going to the Dewey Beach show tonight has a great time! But I know you will! Can't wait to hear the reviews-the guys should be well rested since they just had their little break!

[Pokey]

Looking forward to hearing the new songs but .. wow the rest is disappointing, sure do hope to hear rare tracks like Lakini's Juice and I Alone .. anyone know what albums those were supposed to be from???

[Merica]

I don't like being negative generally, but what's the point of this album?

To Rock

in reality, I have no clue. They probably should have put Susquehanna on it though.

[SecretInsomnia]

this was supposed to be a rarrities album right? except for 2 songs there is nothing rare about it, I guess well I don't know that live versions, but it's not any live version of an unreleased track or b-side

Consider it this way: If you're a member of Homespun, you'll get a CD with live versions of some cool songs, plus you get two new Live songs. We've all been wondering about what's next for Live anyway... this is the perfect way to find out. You get 2 new Live songs for $6, plus the bootleg live tracks. That's not a bad deal at all. Plus, since you're a member of Homespun, you get all the regular Homespun stuff, as well as the Holiday CD.

It's a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. My only worry is the quality of the new songs. If they rock, then that's $15 (or just shipping if you were already a Homespun member) well spent. If they suck, well... yeah.

I'm hoping for the former. Maybe this is a sneak peek at the next album. Who knows.

Pretty disappointing, but at least we get two new songs. Those are in studio quality, so this is most likely very recent work. Someone who is going to the show tonight better rip this cd and have mp3s up by early morning, or I'll ban all of you since I'm the site's new owner.

The tracklist is disappointing, I thought there would be more "rarities". I'm still thankful to the band for releasing this though, this is something they didn't have to do and everyone should be grateful.

It says you can download the song through the "DIGITAL DOWNLOAD" section in the shop but I don't see it. Does anyone else it?

[Badman]

Does anyone know how much the shipping costs actually are for homespuns? I need to know b4 I order.

[SJN1279]

I think this album makes perfect sense for the band. It cost them virtually nothing to produce and whatever money they make off of sales will be all profit. It also gives homespun members a very cool gift. I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow night, I hope they play the new songs live!

It won't be available as a digital download until Tuesday (September 18th).

Depends on where you live. I live in AZ and it was $4.60.
