Butch Walker Listening Party & Give-Away

by in Contests, Downloads, Pop, Rock, Streams

Butch WalkerWe’re chock full of goodies today celebrating the US release of Butch Walker’s Sycamore Meadows. The title comes from the name of the street where Walker was living in Malibu when wildfires swept through Southern California in late 2007.

Walker lost everything in the fire. Everything, that is, but his spirit. And it’s that spirit that burns bright on Sycamore Meadows. But don’t take my word for it, listen for yourself. And when you’re done, download the infectious lead single “The Weight of Her” here.

Then post a comment about the album to be eligible to win a copy of your very own. A winner will be selected at random when the contest ends on Tuesday, 11/18/08 at midnight ET.**


**By participating in Twangville contests you agree to allow Twangville to post the winner’s name and city on our web site. We pass along the winning addresses to the artist or promotions company for fulfillment. Twangville will not use your address for any other reason except as noted above.

    I’ve liked Butch’s earlier stuff for a while, this one sounds a bit more twangy and less pop. Not that that’s a bad thing, it sounds perfectly natural for him.

    Always love Butch. I find his albums get better and better each time I hear them unlike so many that I want to pitch after a long weekend. Definitely worth a few good listens! I’d recommend this one.

    Pretty sure I could use “does this person like Butch Walker’s upbeat songs” as a screen for people I like vs. people I don’t…have no idea how you can have a soul or a sense of humor and not enjoy this stuff. His slow stuff gets a little navel-gazy for me, but what’s not to like about “3 Kids from Brooklyn” cheerfully remaking Me and Bobby McGee? Solid album with some great tracks…

    This is the first time I heard Butch, I really dig the rap on Going Back/Going Home.
    He fits his journey into a sweet short and funny couple of lines and even sneaks in a Neil reference with “burn out or fade away”.

    Twangville once again connects me with an artist I would have otherwise missed.
