Review:
A very good live album
This is a very good live album from Brandy Clark. She's a fine songwriter and her albums so far
have been excellent. Here she shows
that she can give a very fine live performance, too.
This is a small-scale, acoustic set; Clark
is backed by just her own guitar and the vocals and excellent guitar work of
Miles Aubrey and the effect is great.
Her songs tell fine stories and they come across with genuineness and
real power here. Even rockers like
Stripes lose none of their bite and the tender songs like Hold My Hand are
beautifully intimate. The chat between
songs is engaging and witty and although I could have done with a little less
whooping from the audience, the recorded sound is excellent and very nicely
balanced.
I have loved Brandy Clark's two studio albums so far and
this is a fine addition to her output.
She deserves far greater recognition, in my view; I doubt that a live
album will achieve this, but it's a very pleasing treat for her existing
fans. Warmly recommended.
