- Limited one-time pressing (Translation: Get it before it vanishes like platform shoes)
This 3-CD behemoth packs in 51 songs from eight different concerts, spanning 1972 to 1978. It's like someone took a time machine, recorded every great Shawn Phillips performance, and brought it back for our listening pleasure. As Expose puts it, "Shawn's Texas drawl and crystal clear multi-octave vocals stand out" - and boy, do they ever!
But wait, there's more! This isn't just a trip down memory lane; it's a journey through uncharted territory. Many of these recordings have never before graced the ears of even the most dedicated collectors. It's the musical equivalent of finding Atlantis, if Atlantis had killer melodies and mind-bending lyrics.
Let It Rock magazine calls it "A fantastic journey through Shawn's catalogue wherein there's been no live entry." Translation: This is the live album Shawn Phillips fans have been dreaming of since bell-bottoms were in fashion (the first time around).
Whether you're a long-time Shawn Phillips aficionado or a curious newcomer wondering "Who is this multi-octave marvel?", "Live In The Seventies" is your golden ticket to a world where folk meets rock and every performance is a journey to the heart of musical brilliance. Let it transport you to a time when music was raw, real, and revolutionary. Just remember: side effects may include spontaneous acoustic guitar playing, an irresistible urge to grow your hair long, and a newfound appreciation for the power of live performance.
P.S. No actual time travel was involved in the making of this compilation, but after listening, you might need to check your calendar just to be sure.
