This is just a superb live album! For the experienced Jackie fan it's a real treat, great songs well sung, superb versions of Sacred bond, Poortoun & desolation blues.
If you don't know Jackies brand of 'Celtic soul' then this is a great place to start. Jackie sounds a bit like a cross between Van Morrison & Aaron Neville(indeed he covers Van's classic 'slim slow slider' on this record). His deep soulful voice holds you spellbound. The sheer beauty of Jackie's voice creates a fascinating contrast with the sometimes dark subject matter of the songs. This man lays bare his soul when he performs live. Incidentally, Jackie has a totally unique guitar style. It has to be heard to be explained!!

another gem from JL. I would put this in among his best 5 albums. If you want an intro to this great singer songwriter, this is a good place to start.

Amazing stuff

I'm still soaking in the wondrous beauty of this album. Jackie Leven is an amazing singer and songerwriter -- his voice is unparalled and his words are poetic and moving.
For old Doll by Doll fans like myself (the most under-rated band of the 80s) the highlight is hearing Jackie tease the audience by plucking the opening bars to Janice (from Remember) and then launching into a beautiful solo rendition of Main Travelled Roads (from Doll by Doll). Much of Jackie's newer work gets close to this sort of emtional depth, but Main Travelled Roads is still ever so powerful.
