I was logging off of emusic and saw the teaser for Michelle Malone. The album cover said it all. Pumped up shoulders and ripped forarm I had to preview the songs. Here I am reviewing the album while listening to Tighten Up the Springs. One word WOW
THis is a great live album with excellent guitar work, a great voice and room for solo's from a good band. Everybody that has heard this in my OR ask's who is on and gets it... an E Music gem
I have a lot of Michelle's stuff but THIS is GREAT!!! It's a live album but the sound quality is NOT impacted negatively at all. The 10 minute version of In the Weeds is amazing, already a fan of Yesterday's Make-up and Restraining Order Blues it's great to hear them live. Tighten up the strings is just HOT! Flagpole is always a great live song and surprisingly -- one I don't usually care for -- Undertow was pretty good. The staples -- Teen Lament and Wild Horses are as good as usual. This is a MUST for any Michelle fan or any Blues/Roots fan!
