The Wailing Wall mixes indie-folk and world music into a lo-fi project that’s all about community, not commerce. And so they’re giving away their debut album, and playing live for us.

What a great talent in Jesse Rifkin and the band sounds so awesome & tight for only having played together for one session before the show. Wailing Walls music is so powerful and spiritual. I think it's great that they are giving it away for free, so that during this economy so many people can hear it and be uplifted by Wailing Wall's music.
See him at a club and even solo you will not be disappointed
SO SO GOOD
You know what I like? I like it when I go to a club to see a band, and the singer actually sounds as good as the musicians he's playing with.
I hear your reasons, but it's still insane. An artist has to eat.
Bruce Springsteen has many well know car/driving songs (Pink Cadillac, Thunder Road Born to Run), but among his best car/driving songs is "Open All Night" a B-side rockabilly rocker that clearly is paying homage to Chuck Berry's "Promised Land" and "You Can't Catch Me".
From this song, a good playlist would jump to the Dave Edmunds/Rockpile track (Bruce written) "From Small Thing Big Things Come' followed by Rockpile's own "Crawling from the Wreckage".
Question to the band in regards to giving their debut album away for free-are you insane? In this economy?
Wow! Why?
Wow. They sound like Poi Dog Pondering (the 1980s) but even more amateurish and, unfortunately, less charmingly so.
You can't forget Commander Cody's , Hot Rod Lincoln ..... a classic that tells a good story, one of my all time favorites
