We reviewed Backyard Tire Fire a while back, when their full-length came out, and now I’m happy to report that the band is offering, free of charge, their entire record performed live at The Double Door in Chicago. The sound quality couldn’t be better (digital soundboard recording), and you might find, as I did, that the album is even better live than in studio—they are akin to a young Lynyrd Skynyrd. This is a great recording—I hope you all dig it and comment on it here, so the band can see what you thought!
