Now some of these live songs will feature on Colin Meloy Sings Live!, an eighteen track recording that includes songs from past Decemberists' albums, as well as material from his forrmer band Tarkio.
The LP also sees two unreleased songs (Dracula's Daughter and Wonder), as well as covers of tracks by The Smiths, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac and R.E.M.
