Uncle Neddy is down in Austin with Ace right now for the festivities that’ll kick off shortly — and he offers us this musical olive branch for those of you stuck at work…
Countdown is on to ACLFest, and today’s Mix Tape brings the excitement with some live preview tracks from just a wee sliver of the music that’ll be going on down in BBQland. That is, this is the “Who needs the White Stripes?” mix. This hits a pretty good cross-section but don’t hit the whole nut even close.
Download the mix and see below for some full on shows from additional ACL acts to download. As these are wide ranging live recordings, I make no promises about the consistency of the sound quality across the mix…all worth a listen, though. Enjoy!
