"This album has inspired and inspiring performances of some of Ms. Kane's best songs from her first two studio albums."A Thousand Girls", "Tucson", "The Problem With Jazz" and, of course, "Off the Ground" are really wonderful to listen to. I am also glad to hear that the recording features a bit of her honest, funny between-song patter.I like it as well as her most recent album Rain and Mud and Wild and Green.If you like the Indigo Girls and similar folk or folk rock acts, it's time you heard Christine Kane."

A great vicarious fix

"I had never heard of Christine Kane before a friend invited me to one of her shows, and these were the things that amazed me after seeing her perform live: 1. that we were not in a packed-full stadium full of fans throwing flowers and/or themselves onto the stage, and 2. that I myself had enough restraint as to not do that in front of the 80 or so people at this particular performance.Her shows are like that, and so is her Live cd. It's true: she is a phenomenal lyricist and musician and that is evident on all of her cds. But to me, the thing that sets Ms. Kane apart from the pack and keeps me wanting more is the energy and style of her live performances, and her Live cd captures that experience. Like her shows, Christine Kane Live is fun, spirited, generous, thoughtful, dear, sexy, smart, sassy, real, and at times, just short of being raunchy, which we love. It's just her and her guitar, doing what she does --- which is to give so much to her audience that we all feel wonderfully spoiled. I have been listening to this cd for more than a year now and I still just love it. I always feel like I've given myself a treat when I listen to it ... not only is it really great music, but listening to her Live cd transports me back to that delightful gift of being in her audience.If you've never been to one of Ms. Kane's performances, I highly recommend getting to one. And if you can't immediately make it to one of her shows, my suggestion is to drop her Live cd directly into the shopping cart and proceed to checkout ... it's a great vicarious fix!"
