Morning Noon Night: Baby Eagle at The Horseshoe Tavern

by Colin Medley

Well, it’s the middle of the week, which means it’s time for another video. This week I’ll be featuring Baby Eagle, who opened for Daniel, Fred & Julie at the Horseshoe a few weeks back. What’s there to say about little ol’ Baby Eagle, other than it’s the project of the Constantines’ Steve Lambke, and that he’s great? I guess the first peep I ever heard from him was the last track on the third Cons album (Tournament of Hearts), a ditty called “Windy Road.” It had Steve singing, but instead of the usual scrappy punk song we got a pleasant acoustic number. It was an album highlight for me, so I was happy when he started playing solo shows later that year. Two quick albums in 2006 and 2007 followed by a split with Attack in Black late last year brings us to today. I’m sure we’ll be hearing more from him soon – his setlist was all new songs, and it looks like he’s going electric.
