Great.

If you liked Marks album "Shangri-La", you'll love this live CD. He sounds great and the versions are all a little different.

Inevitably brilliant, but song selection slightly disappointing

Hi! First off, if you're deciding between this EP and the full-length CD Shangri-La (7 of the 8 tracks on One Take Sessions are alternate versions of songs that appeared on Shangri-La), definitely buy Shangri-La, the full-length version. It's a beautifully cohesive album that you can get for a good price.

Great stuff...

If you liked the Shangri-La album, this is a must buy. I think a lot of other reviewers have expounded more than I'm going to, but the tracks are much more alive here. My favorite tracks from here are Rudiger and Song for Sonny Liston. Everybody Pays is great here as well. Several songs here were not performed live on his last tour, so tis great to get to hear them in a live setting. Back to Tupelo and Stand up guy were not played at my concert, and likely weren't played elsewhere. Even if there is a live album, the quality of sound here should top it. Only 8 songs...but each one is flawless, and provides many more details and subtleties than the original album recordings.
