"Remember Two Things"
Reviewer: Scott Taylor from
Tallahassee, FL, USA
This brilliant live album dates from the early '90s. It is a
collection of songs recorded at TRAX and the Floodzone in Charlottesville,
VA. Although it dates early in the quintet's career, it contains
some of their best work. On no
other release will you find Matthews' beautiful "I'll Back
You Up" (Song #1 in their catalogue of songs). Another rare
treat is "The Song That Jane Likes." "One Sweet
World" can be heard by Dave and Tim Reynolds on Live at
Luther College, but we are presented with the full band version
here. The highlight to my ears is "Recently." To me,
it is the signature song in this period of their creative lives.
Satellite, Tripping Billies, and Ants Marching are also present.
"Ants" is noteworthy for the snare drum intro of Carter
Beauford. All in all, an enjoyable and brilliant disc, |
