专辑简介
I love the tradition of live releases. To me, it's a document of a time
and place. Songs always morph a bit when you take them on the road and
every musician brings her/his own magic to the mix. That's what inspired
this little release of Amy Ray and the Volunteers.
We recorded a show in
Knoxville, from top to bottom with a 4 tracks of computer magic. We
would have had more tracks, but the equipment failed us at the last
minute. For this reason, it's really "live"-no fixes and barely any
separation. We skipped a few songs that are best left in the ether
sphere and some babble that was probably better left unsaid. Other than
that, what you hear is what we played -songs from both solo
releases-Stag and Prom.
It was the last show of the Rocktober 2005 tour
and slimly attended. The energy was in the intimacy of the crowd and the
fact that we knew we wouldn't get to rock again for a while. After the
show, we loaded the gear into the trailer and without much fanfare,
celebrated at an all night Pita joint. There's nothing less glamorous
than a college town that shuts down early. The Volunteers went on their
way. The drummer Will Lochamy went back to Alabama, where he splits his
time between music and managing a bar. Les Nuby, the guitar man, dropped
by his home in Alabama, long enough to hang with the gang and then
headed out to L.A. to do session work, playing drums. Tara Jane O'Neil
went back to her life as a roving songwriter, singer, rocker, and visual
artist. Our fearless tour manager Carla landed an impressive job working
with the family pop/rock band, Laughing Pizza. I am living the high life
as an Indigo Girl and writing for the next Aray solo record. Written by Amy Ray
