5.0 out of 5 stars For A Few Dollars More., September 6, 2000
By 
Jason Stein (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Live Acoustic America (Audio CD)
Every once in a while you come across a musician who seems to have integrity and a genuineness. For me, Howard Jones has been that artist. Mostly written off by critics and the general public, Howard has managed to survive musically, doing music his way, even losing his record deal with Elektra in 1992. I'm not one to buy live albums but since I have seen Howard Jones live at least three times, I thought I'd give this cd a shot. Consisting of just Howard on acoustic piano and Carol Steele (Tears For Fears) on acoustic percussion, the two of them showcase Howard's fine pop sensibilities. More than just a re-hash of hits, this live compilation, recorded during Howard's 1992 tour, actually breathes new life into his old catalog. Seldom is heard these days, lyrics that are intelligent and positive and music that makes you feel good too. The recording and engineering on this disc is amazing giving the listener great sound quality for a live recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars As they said in the 80's - TOTALLY EXCELLENT!!, May 2, 2003
By 
Laura Smith (Winston-Salem, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live Acoustic America (Audio CD)
I won't pretend to be a professional reviewer/critic. I'll just tell it like it is. I've had this CD for several years and it is my favorite. It's fun and absolutely fantastic. If you need a lift - this is the one to do it. - Well worth the money spent!
Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars Redemption for pop music, December 5, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Live Acoustic America (Audio CD)
For a time, this CD was the only pop music I would listen to; the only one that held any interest for me. Live collections have the potential to the best or the worst. They can be so awful, pointing out all of an artist's flaws, or they can allow a talented artist to soar. Live Acoustic America falls in the latter category. It remains fresh and immediate after many playings.
