Live from Austin TX reflects so many of the audience and band favorites in such a hometown setting, it would be hard to imagine it not working like a charm. According to Austin City Limits producer Terry Lickona's brief liner notes, Nelson was the first-ever guest on the public television-syndicated program back in 1974 for its pilot episode. It wouldn't matter if Nelson sang nursery rhymes in front of this audience. But it's tight and well-rehearsed, yet there's more than a degree of spontaneity here in tracks like \"Stay a Little Longer,\" with a killer Nelson guitar break and a tough rock \u0026amp; roll riff in the bridge. Then there's the medley of \"Funny,\" \"Crazy,\" and \"Night Life\" that's mercurial, slippery, and a tiny bit ragged. The reading of \"Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again),\" here is choice, as is the live version of \"Always on My Mind,\" a song that, remarkably, still has a lot of life in it despite its being performed countless thousands of times. The only drawback here is the sound. It's actually a bit disheartening considering how fine the performance is. One would have imagined that the sonics would have been fairly top-notch by 1990, but not so here. It's a bit flat and lifeless, kept alive only by the fiery performance of the band. Too bad. Though this is not one to recommend to someone getting started with Nelson, or a casual fan, hardcore fans will have to have this despite the shortcomings of fidelity. It's a good 'un. ~ Thom Jurek\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New West","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50497411776801,"sku":"607396587711","price":53.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/607396587711.jpg?v=1730060423","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/it-it\/products\/607396587711","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
