Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Fleet-fingered fretman Monte Montgomery has quietly carved out a name for himself on the competitive Austin music scene as a poll-winning guitar hero and a must-see live act. What's more, on a scene known for blazing Stevie Ray-style Stratocasters, he's done it all with an acoustic guitar! Montgomery's first live effort, a double disc recorded at Fort Worth's palatial performing-arts venue Caravan of Dreams, showcases his guitar prowess and the popular appeal of his live band's propulsive power. Most of the acoustic rock-oriented material comes from Montgomery, as self-penned staples from his live show are interspersed with such favorites as "Wishing Well," "Whirlwind," and "When Will I" from his two studio albums. Montgomery and the band make the most of the live setting, stretching out the songs--five go past 10 minutes--with creative instrumental interplay. Montgomery also successfully mixes in a diverse selection of cover tunes, including a percussion-driven rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "World Turning" and a radically reworked, almost satiric take on Merle Haggard's "Silver Wings." The Hall & Oates hit "Sara Smile" and Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet," the latter the 13-minute album closer, also appear in personalized versions spotlighting Montgomery's aggressive acoustic-guitar excellence and his crowd-pleasing personality as a live entertainer. --Michael Point

5.0 out of 5 stars Legal Schmegal...who cares??, April 24, 2003
By E.B. Olsen (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
...P>I'm not going to go into a bunch of bull about this or that. This is quality music, from his awesome acoustic to his soulful lyrics. If you appreciate quality, and by the way if that rings your bell...you do, you will appreciate Monte. Just trust me on that (and look at his ratings on all of his other CDs here on Amazon.com...that says something)

I can genuinly say this is my favorite CD.

I am not sure what all the legal stuff is about, but it doesn't affect my ability to listen to good music and you shouldn't ...either.

4.0 out of 5 stars Okay recording of one of the best live performers, January 21, 2004
The recording and production of this cd fails to capture the complexity of Monte and his band. Three guys sound like 6, as carefully woven rhythms grab ahold of you until Monte shakes you up with his guitar work... when you see them live, or listent to a studio album. For some reason, the bass seems to get lost on this recording, and the guitar solos fail to cut through. Still a good cd, but could have been one of the 10 best in my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Monte Live - with his consent!, February 3, 2003
By Bob Creasey (Denison, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews
O.K., O.K., so this is a quasi-bootleg - Monte did consent to the recording and the mix that TMG turned out is pretty good (I personally like it without all the compression usually afforded Monte CDs). Monte is in great form, his tunes are well done, his band is excellent, and I'll await the "official" cut which I will also buy - but I'm not giving this one back!

1.0 out of 5 stars NO!
I would agree with the others -- this is a crappy bootleg. The music is incredible but, as one of the others said, the mix is "1-dimensional."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Live CD
Ok so Monte and TMG (company who put out the CD) are quarreling over legalities. That doesn't mean that this CD can't be a "must have" for your collections. Read more
