| Audio CD Description This two-CD, 25-song set, recorded in Louisville on two nights in the spring of 2002, finds bluegrass's most celebrated crossover band at the top of its game. Krauss's warm, feathery vocals, capable of conveying complex emotions in a single note, appear more full-bodied than in studio recordings, yet lose none of their sensual appeal or dramatic tension. She's perfect, for example, as the melancholy temptress on "Let Me Touch You for Awhile," coming across as both savior and seductress, while Jerry Douglas's Dobro echoes the searing strains of passion and pain. With banjoist-guitarist Ron Block, bassist Barry Bales, and guest drummer Larry Atamanuik anchoring the rhythm, the ensemble deftly blends bluegrass with jazz, rock, and folk, combining lightning speed (though rushing through "Forget About It") with sophisticated chops, tangible emotion, and thrilling vocal blends. The crowd, more spellbound with every note, doesn't even breathe on "Ghost in This House" and nearly tears the place down on Dan Tyminski's voice-of-George Clooney showcase, "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow." But who could blame them? It's only one highlight on an album of uncommon artistry, a moving testament to how good live music can be in the hands of world-class players. |

Live at RIT Upon receiving my copy of the cd, it reminded me of the concert that I attended last year during the Lilac Festival in Rochester New York. It was a delight to hear and brought back many memories of a lost relationship I am now getting over. Thanks for the memories.
pure musicianship Most live albums I listen to tend to be rock, and they tend to sound like a live performance. There is no proverbial safety net, so the singers may not quite hit the notes, and the guitars sometimes have a little too much feedback. Regardless, the crowds love it.
simply amazing! Well, First let me start of by saying that I live in Western NC close to the Appalachian Mountains and growing up here you tend to hear alot of bluegrass music & my generation I think tries to rebel from the music because of stereotypes...I am in my early 20's and listen to alot of rock bands such as Nirvana & Led Zeppelin..When I first heard this cd I was blown away!! I heard of AKUS before but never sat and listned to their music and I regret it!! I am a huge fan & I have turned plenty more into fans...this Live cd is a great place to start...please buy this cd now!! |
