Wow
They were awesome. I was lucky enough to see a show with these two performing the entire Cd. It was great to watch truly talented musicians up close and personal. The fingers were flying. I bought the Cd from Paul. They never mentioned the Cd price. When I went to buy it I was a little short. Paul took my money anyway but gave me a dollar back. "I don't want to take your last dollar man. ".


Still Willin'
This is one of my favorite Little Feat songs, as well as being a fine example of the prototypical country-rock song. I have a strong suspicion that this is a 5 star disc, but I only gave it 4 because the only song I've heard from it is the classic
Little Feat nugget, "Willin'". I'm buying this cd on the strength of this song alone. The sound is intimate, spare and gorgeous, just two master guitarists weaving together intricate lines of melody and harmony flowing forth like the waters where two currents meet. The vocal on this track is the most soulful of any version you're likely to hear, and believe me this song has been covered by many great artists. I like it better even than the version found on the bands' masterpiece, Waiting for Colombus. It's a very mellow, languid version, and the clarity of the recording and the interaction between the musician's and the audience, who both seem to be having a really great time, gives the listener a palpable sense of being among them. If this song is any indication of what's on the rest of the disc, then it's definitely one fine album.


Live at North Cafe
There are no drum machines or samples, and the way the players call out at the end of several songs exemplifies the fun these guys are having playing these great songs. This live album represents real music by real people. It's amazing how good music can sound with just two voices and two guitars.
