Fred Eaglesmith & Band "Live Below Sea Level" = A Very Good "Alt-Country" Concert DVD!!!! by Gary Covington (Louisiana)  5 Stars
October 20, 2009
I accidentally found this dvd on amazon, while I was searching for an old Southern Rock band, with the name of Sea Level. When I got this, I did a "Wickapedia", look-up of Fred Eaglesmith. They described him as being Alternative Country, and that Fred is a Canadian. After watching this dvd, it seemed to me, that this band was from the South. They played kind of like Southern Rock Bands, and Fred seemed to have a "southern accent". Anyway, I would describe the music as a cross between Southern Rock & Alternative Country, even though they are Canadians. I was really pleased with the concert. I found it to be a fun & enjoyable concert.
It was filmed during the winter, 2006 in the Paronaat, Haarlem & Caf't Keerpunt, Spikerboor, NL.
The line-up:
Fred Eaglesmith - guitars, vocals
Willie P. Bennett - Mandolin, Harmonica
Kori Hepper - Drums
Luke Stackhouse - Bass
It has an approx.run time of 60 minutes.
The songs are:
At Harlem:
1.18 wheels
2.Wilder than her
3.105
4.Spookin'the Horses
5.Me & Esther
6.White Trash
7.Good Enough
8.Alcohol & pills (Its about how so many rock & country stars are killed by alcohol & pills)
9.Tired
10.Georgia Overdrive
11.Little Buffalo
12.49 Tons
13.The Dad Song
At Spijkerboor:
1.Thinkin' bout her
2.Big Hair
3.Bell
4.Indian Motorcycles
Overall, I consider this to be a very entertaining concert. I was well please with the band's performance. So, I would recommend this one as a "keeper". Thanks!!!

With Band Winter 2006, Netherlands by jd103  3 Stars
January 06, 2008
This DVD includes performances from a couple nights, with Fred and his band featuring the mandolin and harmonica of Mr. Willie P. Bennett. Songs included are:
18 Wheels

Me and Esther
White Trash
Good Enough
Alcohol and Pills
Tired
Georgia Overdrive
Little Buffalo
40 Tons
The Dad Song
Thinkin' bout Her
Big Hair
Bell
Indian Motorcycles
I bought this along with his solo DVD Small Beers Tour and expected to prefer this one, but it didn't turn out that way. Some of my favorite performances here include 105, Me & Esther, Good Enough, and Bell.
A newer song here, not yet on a CD, which has been popular in current shows is The Dad Song. This was the first time I've heard it and, despite being sure that Fred has done better versions of it, I was moved.
My problem was that Fred's voice is a little rougher than usual here, and I thought Little Buffalo in particular was ruined by shouting instead of singing, and racing through it.
There's also little of Fred's talking which is often a highlight of his shows. So for me, the best part of this DVD was watching Willie in action. During the first show, it's mentioned that Mary Gauthier also played that night...would have loved to have seen her set included as there's only an hour of music here.
My copy had a bit of a glitch on Alcohol & Pills, but not enough for me to bother returning it. All in all about 3 1/2 stars...for me, it just didn't capture all the humor and variety I've experienced seeing the band live.

| Drive-In Movie
Fred Eaglesmith (Performer)
"Drive-In Movie" is the folk/alternative country album from Canadian-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith. This effort earned Eaglesmith Canada's prestigious Juno Award--the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy Award--in 1996 for "Best Roots & Traditional Solo Album." The songs on this, his seventh, album reveal Eaglesmith at his edgy best, with stories that leave you with a wry smile of recognition, nostalgia or dark humor.

| Falling Stars and Broken Hearts
by Fred Eaglesmith
With a potent mix of roots rock, roadhouse blues, and goofy asides, Canadian singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith knows how to wax poetically about what really matters--cars, trains, and girls (just check out classics "Time to Get a Gun" from Lipstick, Lies & Gasoline and Ralph's Last Show's "Big Hair"). Falling Stars and Broken Hearts may lack some of the comedic charms of his previous albums, but it should still serve the legion of Fredheads just fine. There are plenty of gems here: the...

| 50-Odd Dollars
by Fred Eaglesmith
There's a peculiar sort of alchemy at work behind Fred Eaglesmith's brand of roots rock. His musical influences are certainly eclectic--a bit of voodoo blues here, some T Bone Burnett there, not to mention traces of rockabilly, bluegrass, and even the odd nod to Tom Waits. But Eaglesmith effortlessly blends them into a seamless, powerful whole that sounds exactly like the sort of music you dream of hearing in some crowded, hot, beery bar near closing time. And that's really the point. For all...
