Howie Day Album: “Live From... [EP]”

Howie is one of the few musicians out there that comes completely 'fluff-free.' Every song is written and sung with 100% honesty. Some songs softer, sweeter, some more raw and rockin, this EP is the perfect way to be introduced to Howie's sound and soul. For old fans, this EP is one more showcase of Howie's truly awesome musicianship. For musicians and non-musicians alike, listening to such a genuine and unique artist with his amount of passion and creativity is simply a blessing. Though Howie is backed with a band and there isn't a whole lot of his signature looping on this EP, his talent is still highlighted and fans will still listen to these seven songs over and over again.

Like many Howie Day fans, the promise of a new release was incredible...when I discovered that it was going to be Live From...I was really excited. My first thought was of Madrigals - Howie's last Live EP release way, way back in 2003, which also has an amazing DVD of Howie performing solo. I did know that this EP was going to be with the band, so I was a little unsure what to make of it. Howie Day is an amazing, unique performer who I've seen live with and without the band and although I prefer Howie solo, Howie with the band is also a great show! The Live From...EP also includes a cover of one of my favourite 90s songs - *Don't Dream It's Over* by Crowded House as well as other favourites from Howie's extensive back catalogue. It also features a live version of Howie's hit song *Collide* BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!! You won't be disappointed!

The 1st track Ghost one can hear his Dave Matthews influence. He is the only artist where i like every single song on all 7 of his albums. It was well worth it. He is so talented. He gives a spectacular live show so go see him. his cd's include in order of release: Australia, Howie Day Live EP, The Madrigals EP, Stop All The World Now, Live From From EP, Sound The Alarm, Ceasefire.
