Another nearly-exciting Name That Tune has ended.
After the last one, I said this one was going to be harder. And, oh, dear readers and participants, apparently I was right! Heh. But, nonetheless, we do have a winner, and he is...

As always, free to double-check your answers vs. my scoring.
And I hope you all realize these scores mean you need run out and buy each of the albums these songs came from, right ? Not only are they all worth having, but there will be a re-test.
Huzzah! My decision not to participate pays dividends as I likely would have gotten a big fat zero!
Yippee! A prize!
I loved the snippet of song no. 1 so much that I Googled the lyrics and coughed up 79p for a copy. Great song and I’d never heard of Brandi Carlile before this quiz, so ta very much Cleek!
that whole album is good. we saw her a couple of years ago. she’s really good live, too. (and your wife was 1/2 correct about her name :) )
I’ll try a few more of her tracks then.
Annoyingly, iTunes UK only had that track on some other ‘album only’ compilation, so I headed over to Amazon instead. I do hate it when iTunes does that.
Still haven’t got around to sticking Uncut in the post yet either, which I will remedy next week.
yeah, Amazon usually comes through.
cool set cleek!
So I found the chords for ‘What Can I Say?’ and can’t decide if the open or capo version sounds better. Cleek, what do you think? :)
since i don’t sing, i rarely use a capo (it doesn’t matter what key i’m in). so i usually prefer the open versions, just out of laziness.
That was darn hard. And even after seeing the answers I don’t know many of those bands. I’m fading out of the hipster scene…
I saw Acoustic Syndicate in Boone last night. I normally hate jam bands (Grateful Dead excluded) but AS is incredible and Big Daddy should be more famous than he is. Anyway, the guys in the band are older than me (I’d guess their mid to late 40s) but most of the 400 or so people at the show were in their early 20s.
