From The Archives: Sam Baker - Live At The Anchor Inn 12/4/07

Thought I would repost some Sam Baker in honor of his new album Cotton coming out Sept. 1st. Cotton will be the final disc of the Mercy Trilogy, and includes the excellent Mercy and Pretty World (which I'm sure some of my longtime readers are already familiar with). If you're not familiar with the mesmerizing and dare I say it life changing music of Sam Baker, then this will be an excellent intro.

If Mercy and Pretty World are any indication of what Cotton will sound like.....it will likely be one of the best albums of the year. You can pre-order Cotton through Amazon (currently not available through his webstore). If you do pre-order it through Amazon be sure to let songs:Illinois know about it so he can get back to blogging ;)

In case the other one wasn't enough for you, here's more Sam Baker. With more songs, more stories, same low levels. What that means is that while there is no disputing the awesomeness of this show (and it is indeed awesome), just like the other one you will need to crank the volume to fully appreciate it. I love that this one has more songs and more banter though. You can tell he is a lot more comfortable in front of an english speaking audience. I bet he's even more comfortable in front of a texas speaking audience :P. Love the fact that Psychic is on here too. Probably my favorite song off his new one.

Also am I the only one who thinks he looks like a cross between a beardless Willie Nelson and a muscleless Triple H?
