I've never had the opportunity to hear Tony live, but this recording is the next best thing. While I don't think it's as good as the really strong and focused studio version AMERICAN GYPSY, it has plenty of surprises, interesting twists, good song selection, tight playing and extended jamming.

What I like; Myron Dove's strong bass. Paul McCandless' signature horn sound, weaving, sweeping and leading the group in a jazzy direction. Of course Tony's slide (acoustic and electric), although his vocal sound is weaker than on his studio recordings. Especially great is the final track, Waiting For Guiteau, with Tony on banjo and a slightly differnt line up.

This guy and this music is mature yet youthful, funky yet traditional, great yet not jaded with stardom....

This album is on of the few that stays in constant rotation in my collection; I am primarily a bluegrass fan, but this album rocks, especially Myron Dove's bass lines. check out "false hearted lover, "ruben's train", almost as good as seeing Tony live....
