Hmm, I think I want to but the physical CD... but it's rather expensive...

I looked at ukes a bit today on the net, a lot of people thought that the ones around the 50 pounds mark were pretty crap. I don't think I want to pay more than that though...

Ukulele's at £50 are actually quite reliable and decent. Like I've said before, my friend has a ukulele which cost him £50 and it's a proper wooden finish and sounds great. He's had it for 4 months now and it hasn't let him down.

I've never listened to it, no. I've heard it's pretty damn good though, yeah?

Into The Wild is amazing

Ukelele Songs dont really get me, I like Eddie's voice but the sound of his Ukelele started to irritate me after a few songs

Cool, I'll add that to my listen list

There's something about Ukulele Songs that makes me want to continue to listen. Once I put it on, it will keep going until the album is finished, but I never do that everyday.

If the songs come shuffeling up on my Ipod I dont mind them and actually like some of them but the whole album in a row is just to much

yep Into the wild is amazing .. it's awesome how you can imagine the scenarios painted in the movie while just listening to it.
it's a great album on its own anyway .. also not connected to the movie.

well Bart if you don't like the ukulele's sound it's not an easy listening at all

.. maybe you can try with one or two songs every now and then

.. Eddie's voice makes the most there

EDIT: i've come a second late hehe

Love that he's playing "Off He Goes"...second to In My Tree, its the best song off No Code.

Two GREAT tracks - also gotta love the first two (Sometimes and Hail, Hail) on the album, however.

Hey...Ed was fantastic..Just Breathe was with the strings..he had 4 musicians come out.Longing to Belong was really nice.1 person played with Ed,I dont know the name of the intsrument...it was a large stand up violin..LOL

I sat in the balcony,I couldnt tell if he still had C on the ukulele.

Im goin to see Dave Matthews Band tonight in Atlantic City,NJ.Im sure he will mention the Big Man.LeRoi Moore (DMB own version of the Big Man) died 3 summers ago.I will wear my Sax Tribute shirt TONIGHT for both men......
