Live at Flevo

Description

Live at Flevo is a live album by the American singer and songwriter Larry Norman, independently released on Spark Music in 1990. The album features Larry live his younger brother Charly and the Finnish blues band Q-Stone, and others. It was recorded during the Flevo Totaal Festival in the Netherlands, August 1989, and was arranged and produced by Larry Norman.

To continue the Larry Norman revival an excellent live offering. In fact, you could quite easily be fooled into thinking it was a compilation of old recordings, the sort he churned out on indie labels during the eighties, only this time property produced. This is an album in a time-warp, yes, but in all the best senses of the word, and Q-Stone (whose own album was produced by Larry) are just the band to back him up in this. They play the blues with guts. This is certainly a bluesy album. No new cuts, but lots of old favourites, some half forgotten, some almost legendary. Best of all it includes a welcome resurrection of the «Be Careful What You Sign» track from ‘So Long Ago In The Garden‘. Of course, it all does rather depend on whether you like the raw sound of ‘Live’ recordings, not to mention the snippets of Larry’s banter that punctuate the songs. And it also rather depends whether you remember anything musical that predates U2! Still, for my money this is a thumping good album – thumping being the operative word. Should annoy the neighbours at full volume. [Gerald Kells, Cross Rhythms, April 1991]
