Prodcut Description: [More Information ...] Named by Rolling Stone as one of 2005 s Top Ten Artists to Watch, Amos Lee has opened for Bob Dylan and toured with Norah Jones. Pretty heady stuff for a 27-year-old from south Philadelphia who had just quit his last job teaching elementary school and released his first-ever album. Critics and music buffs alike were so enamored by his quiet, understated but soulful singing style that it seemed he could do no wrong.This performance, recorded on August 10, 2005, captures all the gems from that first album and then some. Possibly nothing sums it up better than the simply beautiful Arms Of A Woman, which sounds like an instant classic that could ve come from the likes of Ray Charles. Unlike Ray, Amos was a late bloomer, more interested in basketball than music, until he majored in English in college and tried his hand at songwriting to fine-tune his poetry. Working in a jazz record store and listening to Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk only deepened his passion to pursue his own musical muse. Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight runs the gamut, and Bottom Of The Barrel is a place we can all relate to.

Reviews:
Amos Lee at Austin City Limits DVD FABULOUS DVD.Shipping was quick. Price was very reasonable. REALLY pleased with the product and the transaction. Great, but not as great as his live shows! This is a great DVD. It's a great DVD with great video/audio, but feels more tame than his live shows. At the live shows, he and the band play with the songs and make them sound a lot different than the studio versions. While there is some variation from the studio tracks, it's definitely more in line with his studio albums. If you're new to Amos Lee, I 3000% recommend this DVD. If you've been to a live show, you might be a little let down by how much more tame this show is, but it's still a great show. My Favorite Live Artist Amos Lee is and amazing artist, and gives one of the most passionate live performance of any artist I know. I have seen him 3 times and can hardly with until he is in Los Angeles again! almost complete I remember the night that Amos was on the same bill with John Prine. I have a copy of that performance, and there is one song missing from this release: Give It Up. So what gives? |
