Excellent live album ...

"As a rule, I've eschewed "live" albums. However, my knowledge of DNC's strengths performing live pushed me just enough so that I purchased "Essential Live." I was NOT disappointed. This quite possibly is the best live album I've heard. By "best" I mean that it accurately portrays what it's like to see DNC live. The production is great; and each song warrants playing over and over.DNC, see you in Murfreesboro, TN, and on Thanksgiving!"
Needs to be in every R&R CD collection

"As a Drivin' n' Cryin' fan, I simply couldn't wait to finally have a 'live' album by them. Even if you are not familiar with the band, you should definitely pick up this album. Kevn Kinney (lead singer, songwriter, guitarist) is simply amazing with his song-writing ability and the chance to have him recorded live only allows one to understand how much work and soul he puts into his music. Of course, this never could replace actually being at a live show, but it does give you a taste that only leaves you wanting more."
This album shows how great DNC is live

"This Album shows how a Band from Atlanta can really rock at a live venue. I have followed the band for many years now, This is a true album that shows how a great band sounds live without a lot of noise interfearance. Anyone from Atlanta and the south knows the band and has more than likely seen the band before and this album has tracks from all the albums we love. In other words, BUY THIS LIVE ALBUM!"
