On April 8th, Kill Rock Stars will release Colin Meloy Sings Live! – a
14-song set documenting The Decemberists’ lead singer/songwriter’s 2006
solo tour. Meloy’s two-week trek across the U.S. coincided with the
release of Colin Meloy Sings Shirley Collins, his six-song EP paying
homage to the revered British folksinger. While the latter collection
(and its predecessor, Colin Meloy Sings Morrissey) were only sold on
tour, Colin Meloy Sings Live! will be available at retail.
One track, "We Both Go Down Together," is available today for download over at Pitchfork. The tune originally comes from The Decemberists' 2005 release, Picaresque, and was later seen on the iTunes-only EP, Live from SoHo. But this acoustic version is a big change from the bombastic orchestral take you're probably used to. Check it out, then take a peek at the full tracklisting after the jump.
