As
the title indicates, the CD documents the legendary veteran Texas
guitarist's recent European tour in support of his 2010 studio album
Up Close.
While
the new album includes cuts from that CD, the live disc also features
classics from Johnson's nearly three-decade-long career as a solo
recording artist, as well as two new songs.
This
is Johnson's best live album to
date. Not only does it have the advantage of providing the broadest
live retrospective of Johnson's solo career, but it also has the
benefit of showing how some of his old tunes have evolved in the
hands of a wiser and more refined – but still very dynamic and
energetic – Johnson, who seems to keep getting better and better as
time goes on.
