5.0 out of 5 stars Start with THIS Stuart Davis CD, December 1, 2000

"savagesal" (Round Hill, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 16 Nudes (Audio CD)

This CD will give you a taste of what makes live audiences fall in love with Stu & his music & his BRAIN. The banter, the quips, the improvisation, the virtuosity is all evident in this live CD. Who else gives up precious CD real estate for a parody of Rick Springfield? The whole range is here--the spirituality (yes! it's NOT a dirty word!), the double-entendres, the freak show stories, the simple laundry-list lyrics that make you go "hmm..." It's like pleasant aerobics for your grey matter & soul. And when he finishes with Narcoleptic Mary, you don't know whether to laugh or be sympathetic to the woman with her head in the soup bowl. And he makes you feel that either reaction (or both) is acceptable and expected. No shame--that's what Stuart Davis is about. He's not ashamed to be male, to be spiritual, to be crass, to point out the obvious, to be intelligent, to be angry, to be scared, or to be sorry. This is the one to buy. (Then you'll find yourself buying more & lobbying for him to play your hometown!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Stuart is best LIVE, January 4, 2001

This review is from: 16 Nudes (Audio CD)

Prolific boy that he is (How many albums now?), appreciating Stuart is easiest live. This is the live CD, and these are his classics. If you're just curious about his sound this would be the best album to purchase, that is if you can't make a show. Check out the official webpage at www.stuartdavis.com, for more info.

5.0 out of 5 stars Free Minnesota!, August 11, 2000

Richard H. Kintigh (Rock Island, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 16 Nudes (Audio CD)

Stuart is more than a guitar virtuoso, his lyrics are intelligent, witty, sharp, and thoughtful. But the true talent of Stuart Davis is best experienced at his live solo performances. Stuart relentlessly tours the U.S. and some of Europe, I would highly recommend attending. If this is not possible, or if you cannot wait, i would recommend this CD. It is the only live compilation Stuart has released, but it gives you access to that intimate performance space feel. Enjoy this album.
