Album DescriptionAvailable in:
"Live From Austin, TX" is a live album by Richard Thompson, recorded in 2001 and released in 2005 on CD and DVD.
Thompson has composed and performed since the late 60s, and has been signed to several major labels, but despite his reputation as a compelling and powerful live performer live albums have been few and far between for most of his career.
There was the flawed (and later withdrawn), Small Town Romance in 1984, and several not-for-retail releases on Thompson's own boutique labels. Then in 2004 Cooking Vinyl released a live DVD (Live In Providence) and in 2005 New West Records released this recording of a 2001 performance given for KLRU's Austin City Limits series.
Unlike Thompson's boutique live releases, available at his website and at his shows, Live from Austin, TX is an audio recording of a single show.
The DVD version of Live From Austin, TX includes an extra track, "Put It There Pal" omitted from the CD.
