Terri Hendrix Live [Live]

Amazon.com
Music is never more engaging than when it's live, and this is especially true of bluegrass and folk. Terri Hendrix Live is no exception. With a charm and intimacy that recalls Michelle Shocked's Texas Campfire Tapes, Hendrix and her band deliver the goods with finesse but also with foot-stompin' energy. Recorded in the historic Cibolo Creek Country Club in San Antonio, Texas, Live showcases the immense talents of Lloyd Maines--best known for producing and playing with the likes of Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, and the Dixie Chicks--on steel guitar and mandolin, and the swinging rhythm section of Glenn Fukunaga and Paul Pearcy. Standout tracks include "Sister's Song," a caressing and intimate folk song that is a poignant testament to the bonds that tie families together, and a rousing version of the Waterboys' "Fisherman's Blues" that rivals the original. Ultimately, the most notable feature of this batch of tunes is Hendrix's great songwriting and the joy that is so obvious in her performance. This set will surely have you dancin' in your living room! --Michael Wells

Like Americana Music? Give This A Try........2002-06-25

I love this CD, and not just because I was at one of the recording sessions in San Marcos (sorry, I'm one of the over-enthusiastic fans screaming at inappropriate moments through some of the tracks.) For new listeners, this CD offers a good introduction to Terri's quick wit, poignant phrasing, and occasional scat riffs - want a challenge? try singing along with "All Woman" - and longtime followers will enjoy this CD's transition into a fuller band sound, especially on the rollicking "Get Up". Other high points include the reworkings of old favorites "Flowers" and "Hole in my Pocket" - great songs that have improved with Terri's growing vocal confidence over the years.

My biggest issue with Terri's CDs? Keeping my collection intact is getting expensive - I keep loaning her CDs to friends and never getting them back.

Disappointing live effort.......2002-01-13

Terri played in California this summer, and I saw her for the first time. I bought this CD at her concert, and I was disappointed that the album didn't capture the feeling I got at the show. That is to be expected, but this CD seems particularly unrepresentative of a Hendrix live performance. I bought another live album of hers and it was much better, still not the same experience, but closer than this.

Texas Reviews Itself.......2002-01-05

After reading one of the reviews for "Live in San Marcos", I decided to make the following comments. I have followed Terri Hendrix's career for the past 7 years. The depth of her lyrics and the growth of her music is evident in each of her albums. Those of you not from Texas may not be able to appreciate what recording a live album at Cheatham Street Warehouse means. First, it is a corregated tin, long narrow warehouse set approximately 10 feet off of the M-K-T railroad on one side (with constant train traffic) and bounded on the other three sides by thoroughfares in San Marcos. Cheatham Street has offered Texas a venue to listen intimately to such artists as Asleep at the Wheel, BB King, Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, George Straight. This is Terri's hometown now and the recording was done for the fun and entertainment of fans who wanted a "live" party album. I take particular exception with the other reviewer's comments that this is the same music you will find on any of her CD's. Each CD is as unique and diversified as any artist I am familiar with. Terri's music engulfs folk, pop, odes, Spanish, Celtic, New Orleans skat and jazz and country. If you haven't taken the time to investigate her music yourself, please do so and don't take the written word of one reviewer who obviously has little knowledge of Terri's body of work. Thank you.

Unsatisfying Follow-Up to "Places in Between".......2001-11-24

As a Terri Hendrix admirer, I'm not sure why she chose to release this CD on the heels of her best work to date "Places in Between". It is produced by long-time Hendrix cohort and Tejas uber-producer Lloyd Maines, but I guess he just didn't have much to work with. The whole thing has a slapped-together homemade feel that some might find charming. I found it a disappointing follow-up. If you're not familiar with the work of this talented Texas songwriter/musician, pick up her earlier "Terri Hendrix Live", or better yet, go buy "Places".

Dogs, Goats, and Accordians.......2001-09-17

I saw Terri and the guys at the Cactus Cafe in Austin, about six weeks after this album was recorded. She and Lloyd Maines chatted continuously with the audience, about her pets, friends, and family, and most of the songs reflected these topics. Lloyd and his wife gave Terri an accordian for her birthday, and she bravely played "Jamblaya" to the encouragement (and good-natured abuse) of the crowd. It felt more like a backyard picnic than a concert, with the whole crowd joining in on many of the songs, and a chorus of barks and howls to request "You Mangled My Dog."

Terri surprised me for the third time........1999-08-11

For the thirtd time Terri surprised me with a very good CD and everytime they are getting better. Now with my favorite drummer Paul Piercy. The way "$2 shoes" is done on this live reording. I wished I was there on that night in Cibolo, but when I close my eyes during listening: it is close.

Texas at its best!.......1999-07-25

Terri and her band show off their musical chops on this live album. I had the good fortune of being on the front row at Cibolo Creek Country Club when it was recorded. It sounds as good right now as it did that night. Terri sings her own solid originals as well as songs from her favorite Texas songwriters. Her voice will reach in and grab your heart. This album is fun, funny, touching, raucous and much more. Don't pass this one up!

Awesome live performer!.......1999-07-13

I saw Terri at Uncle Calvins in Dallas Texas and she ignited the audience! She is everbodys daughter, sister and cool friend. She really brings the crowd to her. Very original artist, I can't wait to see her at the Grammys!

Probably the best artist going in Texas right now........1999-06-23

Terri Hendrix is the real deal...an enormous stage presence, and a well produced live CD that shows her diversity in songwriting and performing. Sister Song may be her best effort ever and will definitely make you blubber. Gravity and The Know How really rock. She is destined for the big time and when that happens, you'll be glad you caught her on the way up when you could still see her "live" with a little elbow room.

This CD is tops, very addictive!!.......1999-05-28

Terri Hendrix really knows how to attract her audience and makes them want more. She has a wide range of talent which she uses very well. You find yourself listening to her over and over again.
