Comment:
this is not the first live
recording and hopefully not the last one at 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia, USA by Camper Van
Beethoven you could find out at Archive.org. It can be assumed it is
one of the combo’s
favourite places to disseminate their
legacy. The
legendary quartet is there to convey a frantic session of 19 pieces
with a grand total time of 64 minutes drawing upon southern rock,
Americana, ska, blues, bluegrass, psychedelia, and alternative
country. All these stylistic
elements are seamlessly intertwined with one another and at the same
time one element is traded for another to be appeared as if an
effect of hocus-pocus or
a hidden
sort of music of the Romani and Jewish people.
David Lowery`s vocal appearance is simply mesmerizing and that
could be said about Jonathan
Segel`s virtuosity to straddle on a keyboard and violin almost
simultaneously. Just shut up
and let the music take over.
This is a bewildering hour
by seminal masters. Absolutely brilliant!
