The Call – Live Under The Red Moon – 2000

Kind of an odd live release from The Call here. For some reason Mark Heard and the guys at Fingerprint records in conjunction with Conspiracy Music decided to release a The Call live recording from 1990. This album was recorded on the support tour for Red Moon album at The Coach House in San Juan, CA in the Fall of 1990. As the band was under contract to MCA Records in 1990 I am assuming this was a recording the band arranged. Further making this release a little stranger is the choice of tracks. Normally when you put out a live album you leave a lot of the newest tracks and concentrate on the bands singles from across their catalogue. This album actually includers 5 tracks from Red Moon so it’s actually a relatively correct album of that tour. While rarely done I think it’s kind of cool. The album itself is poorly recorded with some soft clipping and horrendous compression but we’ve done the best we could to make it sound a little better. As for the album it’s great and was sought after for one main reason in the CCM industry and that is for the live version of “I Still Believe” which is very very good. Anyway there are several great The Call albums in the 2000’s but this is probably my favourite.

Darrell Mansfield Blues Band – Live On Tour – 2000

Here we have another live album from Darrell. It contains most of his favourites that we see pop up on most of his later live work. Half the album was recorded in Los Angeles and half in Holland with 2 different bands not that you can really tell. Anyway I don’t have much more to say as there are plenty of live Darrell recordings and they are all excellent.

Tracklist
1 – Let’s Work Together – 4:08
2 – There’s Gotta Be A Change – 5:39
3 – Tell The Truth – 5:21
4 – Walk With Me Jesus – 5:35
5 – The Mission – 4:45
6 – Nobody But You Lord – 4:53
7 – Boom Boom – 7:12
8 – Stand By Me – 9:05
9 – Time To Go – 9:18
10 – People Get Ready – 7:10
11 – Swing Low, Sweet Chariot – 7:12

Barnabas – Approaching Light Speed – 2000 Remaster

The metal decade gave us a lot of gems and Barnabas is one of them. This is the band’s second album, much more refined than their first. From day one the band showed potential, and with this release the production quality shot up dramatically. Nancy Jo Mann’s solid vocals shout out over some hard marching guitar riffs and a tight band. Even on “If Love Brings Love” with a piano part that would be Layla’s little cousin, the driving guitars won’t let you forget where you are and what decade this is.

This is the 2000 remaster by Rev Hillstrom at Creation Station Studios, Robinsdale, Minnesota. It includes a bonus track “All Alone” which was originally recorded for this album but record company politics kept it off the album at the time.

Tracklist
1 – No Freedom – 4:37
2 – Stormclouds – 4:43
3 – If Love Brings Love – 4:12
4 – Waiting For The Aliens – 6:21
5 – Warrior – 4:01
6 – Never Felt Better – 3:26
7 – Subterfuge – 5:59
8 – Crucifixion – 5:52

Barnabas – Artifacts And Relics – 2000

This 2000 release of Barnabas artifacts and relics is just fantastic. It has 5 unreleased tracks and a 24 minute recording of a rehearsal. The lead track (Batter Up) really should have been on an album, it’s actually one of my favourite Barnabas tracks now. The other new tracks are good though I have to say that Shauna Marie may actually be a lullaby. The 24 minute rehearsal track is an absolute gem. It gives us a bit of a candid view (listen) of the band. Much discussion of coffee just made me feel like I was there. Just an excellent release here.

Tracklist
1 – Batter Up
2 – Can’t Get There From Here
3 – Shauna Marie
4 – Goodbye
5 – All Alone
6 – Rehearsal – Intro/Conflict Of Desire/Directory Assistance/Southern Woman

Daniel Amos – Live At Cornerstone 2000 – 2000

Recorded at the 2000 Cornerstone Festival Daniel Amos nailed this concert. They played over 2 hrs and this album is a reflection of that concert. It has a nice selection of their songs but it would have been nice to hear some more of their early stuff. I don’t feel the album was very well engineered but it is what it is. Again a must have for any Daniel Amos fan.
