"Jimmy Stewart" The Second Album, now available at UMLive.net, is a look back at the first half of 2006, these tracks are the best of what didn't make the cut. As the band's improvisation style has matured, there's an increasing amount of attention being paid to creating lasting melodies.

| Podcast #40 - September 2006 part 1 ::: podcast040.zip (71.3 MB) DESCRIPTION: A cover of Pat Metheny's Last Train Home displays a more gentle Umphrey's McGee, with careful attention to arrangement, dynamics and space. An improvisationally augmented Nemo gives way to an explosive Nothing Too Fancy, which becomes a gateway for an extended narrative jam lead by Jake. The rare Orfeo, one of the band's earliest songs, let's Joel Cummins showcase his writing talents, while Memories of Home displays another side of Jake Cinninger's musical personality.
