Comments:
Live at The Palladium, NYC, 31-Dec-81. According to the cover: "This album
features the seldom performed songs from EC's classic country album
Almost Blue that was almost universally overlooked by both fans and
critics alike. For this performance, the group is joined by Mr. John McFee
(Clover) on pedal steel guitar. Enjoy it now, you may never hear these
tunes again." The title on the label is 'Lucky Stevens Sings'!
Quality:
The cover claims that this is a soundboard recording, but it
certainly doesn't sound much like one. Overall, I'd give the
sound quality (on the live tracks) 5/10, and the performance 7/10.
It's got novelty value because it draws almost exclusively from
Almost Blue songs - Timothy E. Young {young057@gold.tc.umn.edu}
The sound quality is pretty good. Interesting arrangements as
they differ from the album versions, particularly "Success"
