In part three of my River Roots Live trilogy, I present the September 22, 2006, performance of guitar hero Junior Brown. Junior was a bad boy, using an encore to go over his allotted 60 minutes. You might not be able to tell by listening, but Brown and his guitar did a mean train imitation when a locomotive threatened his set.

This recording is a little funky. Although a single file, the concert is in three distinct sections: the first song followed by a fade; the rest of the set followed by a fade again; and the encore. There is no good reason for this except that in my first attempt at bootlegging, I had a stupid notion about separating songs while recording. Basically, you lose a bit of the second song.

My recording of Alejandro Escovedo's one-hour set at River Roots Live in Davenport, Iowa, on Saturday, September 23, 2006.

I changed a few settings for Saturday's recording, and I think it sounds better. I'd love to get some feedback in the comments section of this entry and the Martin Sexton recording I posted yesterday. I'm trying to see if projects such as this are worth your and my time.

Pretty self-explanatory: Martin Sexton's one-hour set at River Roots Live in Davenport, Iowa, on Friday, September 22, 2006.

This is my first attempt at a live recording of a national act. The quality is mediocre, with too much crowd noise. If anybody wants to try to clean up the source file so I can post a higher-quality version here, please e-mail me or leave a note in the comments section.

Also, feel free to comment on whether it's even worth my time to post these audio files. Is the quality good enough to merit downloading?

I'll be changing a few things when I record Alejandro Escovedo tonight. We'll see if it's any better.

I also have Junior Brown's set from Friday and will post it if anybody wants it. Please let me know in the comments section if you'd like to hear that, too.
