Montana Tale is John Craigie's latest album, featuring all new songs and performances from a wide cast of talented musicians including Randy Schwartz (drummer for Brett Dennen) and Zach Gill (piano for Jack Johnson, ALO).  This album has a much "bigger" sound than Craigie's previous ones, with the songs feeling like the marriage of Folk, Bluegrass and Barn Rock.

Download purchase includes all 11 tracks with album artwork in MP3 format at 192kbps in a 73MB .zip file, converted from the original master CD files.

A brand new 4 song demo from Emily Pícha! Recorded at Bocean Studios in Marin County, CA in December of 2008, these songs feature Pícha along with seasoned studio musicians Trent Boeschen (drums), Jason Carr (double bass) and Greg Schlaepfer (piano and lead guitar).

John Craigie revisits the "Secret Song" from Second Grade Awakening, this time on banjo and backed up with beautifully haunting slide guitar by Michael Finnican.

These songs have been gently pulled and nestled into a little package for you fans who are less interested in the full December 13th, 2008 House Concert.

Interested in the complete 30 tracks / 1.7 hours of the show including banter and full-band songs for only $5?  Check it out.  All of the musical tracks are available for individual purchase as well.

This 1.7 hour house concert features John Craigie solo performances, songs performed with the Accidental Poets, and all of his between-song banters.  It was tracked with 12 mics and mixed to put the listener in with the living room audience. Highlights include the previously unreleased Chuck Norris Song and The Talkin' American Idol Blues.

A "choice selection" of 4 solo tracks from this performance is also available for $2.50.  All of the musical tracks are available for individual purchase as well.  "Banter" tracks are only available with this complete album.

Howdy all you John Craigie fans! Thanks for finding your way here to homeless tunes. I know, the site is a little bare at the moment (but what picken's there are, are good!). And that's where I need your input. John Craigie has a TON of music, and much of it isn't available anywhere except by request at one of his shows.

So... what do you want to hear from him?

I'll get him in the studio and we'll put some new/old stuff up here, just for you! Let us know in the comments.

Yes, you need to have an account here to comment, but you can log in with your facebook account, so no excuses!

The complete Soft Hail demo recordings performed by John Craigie in August of 2007. These tracks were provided to collaborating musicians to help them prepare for recording the official album. Those lucky enough to listen to this often think it stands on it's own as a finished album, though all the tracks are solo Craigie.
