Charlemagne "Holland Daisy" (16.7 MB) from Charlemagne Live at WORT Block Party Madison, WI May 21, 2006 PODCAST EXCLUSIVE!

Charlemagne played a handful of songs from their self-titled debut, and most of them have the stink of debut all over them. The leap they made on Detour Allure was quite impressive -- Charlemagne was one of those mostly slow, mostly simple debuts that sounds like it comes from a band that's not quite ready to put a record out yet, where Detour Allure arrived fully formed. "Holland Daisy" is one of the good, upbeat tunes from the debut, and one that shows the promise they would later fulfill. Carl Johns is still no Andrew Bird, though.
