(5 out of 5 stars)
"Ian Charles LIVE is a greatly recorded representation of his 2000-2002, Wishing Street "Solo Acoustic" Tour.
He manages to find new, inventive arrangment of his early song, "Tough to Balance". Originally a driving rock-n-roll song from his debut, ...To Those Who Wait(1995). Now a funky alternately tuned soul song and "Some Rebellion" from Long Hill Road (1998) Acoustic Guitar and voice. That great voice.
The new songs, a previously unavailable Acoustic ditty named,
"Cleaning House" and the new studio track, "Sky Open Wide" from his upcoming and highly anticpated (by me)Cd for next year (2003)
Plus, having acoustic versions of his indie hits, "Heavens' Key" and "Wishing Street"(2000). This is almost a half hour of perfectly balanced and passionately performed Ian Charles songs from the last leg of a long tour. Pick it up."
