Nice little gift to the KoL fans... Recorded just before "Aha Shake Heartbreak" was released
I've got of course all three of their studio albums, but I was not aware of this release until I stumbled on this while shopping at my local independent CD store last week. Let me say upfront that I am a huge Kings of Leon fan ever since the early days. I snapped this up instantly.

"Day Old Belgian Blues" (6 tracks, 21 min. , released in 2006) is a live EP that was recorded in December, 2004 (in Brussels, Belgium--where I originally hail from, no less), just months before "Aha Shake Heartbreak" would be released. This EP contains four tracks from that album (Taper Jean Girl, The Bucket, Soft, and Four Kicks), which the band obviously was roadtesting at that time, and two from their debut album (their breakout song Molly's Chambers, and Trani). The band sounds great throughout. Not sure what the exact motivation is of this release, but I look at this EP as a nice little gift to KoL fans.

Since then, KoL has of course released their massive third album "Because of the Times" earlier this year, and in concert, the band has grown ever bigger in posture. I've seen KoL 3 times already this year, and they have elevated their live performances to newer, higher levels. If you have a chance to see them live, don't miss them. And this EP is a great teaser for a proper live album, which will follow for sure at some point. .


Actually....
They played about 3-4 new songs, and they were all very promising. I saw King Of Leon in September 2006. At first listen, the sound is obviously a little different than KOL's past endeavors, but they don't stray too far, and I have every confidence that it's going to be a great album. From what I've gathered, the new LP is being released in Spring '07 and will be titled Because of the Times. .


KOL - Third Album


November 2006. The Kings are back, in '07, with their third album. After spending time earlier in the year opening for U2 & Bob Dylan, the Kings travel to Australia to do the same for Pearl Jam. I was there.

These November Australia shows, the Kings played a handful of 'new' songs. These tunes are OUTSTANDING! The wait for this album, will be well worth the time. These are songs, that, on first listen. You will be thinking to yourself, "Oh my. . . Oh my. . . I'm going to listen to this again. . . and again. . . "

This is a band, well on their way to becoming the greatest band in the world. Just imagine. In another 10. . 20 years, maybe the Rolling Stones will open for the Kings of Leon.

Next Studio Album?


I am writing this review to ask if any fellow customers have any information on when this fabulous band's third studio album will be realeased. I do not own this product although I do have the Aha Shake Heartbreak Tour Edition which contains live tracks "Four Kicks", "Soft", "Molly's Chambers", "Taper Jean Girl" and "The Bucket", not my most favourite tracks but none the less fantastic. If they could email me or write a response via a review on this page it would be greatly appreciated.

Also any kind of information on what the next album is going to be like would be fascinating. I have heard several rumours such as it is going to be called "Because of the Times". I have also heard that the band have written about seven tunes that they are recording right now and have several more in the can. Other rumours include that the album is going to be somewhat orchestral. I cannot contemplate how this band will approach that I don't think any of their songs could be described as orchestral that have been on the previous two albums.

I look forward to the release.


live at last
KOL are at their best live and this cd really proves it!
So until the new cd with new material arrives in '07 (patinece is NOT a virtue guys!) this will have to do!!!
it makes me want to run out and see them in some sweaty little club right now.
