5.0 out of 5 stars Inspired performances, July 22, 2002

This review is from: E-Town Live (Audio CD)

I have to credit Nick and Helen Forster and the folks at e-town for broadening my musical horizons. How often have you heard the lament: "There's nothing worth listening to on the radio any more?" E-town has introduced me to dozens of wonderful artists with real talent and something meaningful to say, and some of these are included here.

This CD is a compilation of "greatest hits" from the show's first few years. Some of these performances are absolutely stellar: Lyle Lovett (with an all-star band), Richard Thompson, Ani DiFranco, Ted Hawkins, the Fairfield Four, Steve Earle, and Joan Osborne really sing their hearts out. Really, they're all exceptional, not a dud in the bunch.

Maybe it's the altruistic nature of the show that brings out the best in their guests, maybe it's the Boulder Theatre, who knows? Whatever the source, these performances are truly inspired. Pick up this CD, and make your world just a little better.

fantastic . . . gets better every time I listen, from James Tayolor's beautiful "Copper Line" to Cowboy Junkie's "Bhea's Song" this is an intense listen that covers all the bases. Sure to light up a nice drive down a lonely road.
