Dave Alvin - Live From Austin, Tx
Guitarist Dave Alvin is a modern-day acoustic troubadour steeped in the quintessentially American traditions of folk, blues, rock, and country. The roots rocker is captured live in this 1999 appearance on PBS's AUSTIN CITY LIMITS, which has been expanded from its televised half-hour episode to include all 90 minutes of Alvin's performance, including classic songs like "King of California," "Border Radio," and "Marie Marie." 685256 If you were a male teenager and a heavy metal fan back in the late 1970s, chances are your record collection included well-worn copies of two live albums--Kiss's ALIVE and Ted Nugent's DOUBLE LIVE GONZO. Both solidified each artist's standing as arena-headliners, as their concerts sold out due to their high-energy, entertaining live shows. DOUBLE LIVE GONZO also marked the last Nugent album until 1982 to feature singer/rhythm guitarist Derek St. Holmes, who was a major musical contributor to Ted's solo success. A consistently riveting listen from beginning to end, individual standouts include amped-up versions of such classic Nugent rockers as "Just What the Doctor Ordered", "Stranglehold", "Great White Buffalo", and "Cat Scratch Fever".
