Rising Son Records releases 'Live in Sydney', A new double CD from Arlo Guthrie.
(PRWEB) August 25, 2005 -- Rising Son Records releases "Live in Sydney", a new double CD from Arlo Guthrie.
"Live in Sydney" captures Arlo Guthrie at his very best. Recorded in Sydney, Australia, June 12, 2004 at the Seymour Centre, Arlo, along with son, Abe on keyboards and multi-instrumentalist Gordon Titcomb, intertwines the music and stories that have endeared him to audiences for more than 40 years. Now available through Rising Son Records (www.risingsonrecords.com), "Live in Sydney" reflects Arlo's warmth and wit and will make you feel a part of the audience, as he plays, sings and tells tales.
New originals "My Old Friend" and the haunting, melodic tribute to Hawaii, "Haleiwa Farewell (Haleiwa Blues)" are crowd pleasing songs that will touch your heart.
"A couple of songs he wrote were among the standouts...including an instrumental, "Haleiwa Blues," in which his acoustic guitar evoked the slack-key sound of the islands..." - The Washington Post
Arlo's versions of his long-time favorites, "St. James Infirmary," "Me and Bobby McGee," and "Green Rocky Road" will stay with you.
Stories include old favorites and new ones too.
"Arlo's between-song narratives are hilarious, serpentine journeys that expose political absurdities with acute comic timing and an aw-shucks tone of self-effacement that serve as dual tributes to his father's legacy." - City Pages, MN
Currently Arlo Guthrie's trio is out on tour for his 40th Anniversary Celebration of The Alice's Restaurant Massacree" and the critics are saying:
I wasn't quite sure at first just what all of the fuss was about, and why there needed to be a whole festival just to celebrate one song. But it didn't take long for me to realize the answer is actually quite simple - anybody halfway paying attention to current events can tell you this silly song's context is still relevant, compelling and empowering to the dissenting masses" - The Daily Texan, Univ. of Texas
