Live In Nashville

This CD was recorded way back in 2001, soon after Byrne released "Look into the Eyeball." So why did it take six years to release this tasty disc? First, the "Austin City Limits" show, for which this material was recorded, didn't air until early 2002. Second, the CD was "cancelled." Some time passed, Byrne recorded another full length album, "Grown Backwards," and three years later "Live from Austin, TX" appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Not a gripping tale, but not much information is available. In short, no material from "Grown Backwards" appears here. The set does contain voluminous morsels from the Talking Heads catalog set to lush string arrangements. It's as if Byrne arranged his standards to fit the mood of the sea of strings sound of "Look into the Eyeball." The results, for the most part, are fantastic.
