Details: Amazon.ca Recorded at Wolf Trap in Virginia, Live & Uppity is just what it sounds like: a live performance by the sassiest, most attitudinal blueswomen in the business--and that's saying something. The opening song, "Cold Pizza and Warm Beer," a halfway-rueful morning-after song, sets the tone for the album; it's going to be a party, with no regrets. And the women of Saffire are funny, too. "You'll Never Get Me out of Your Mind" is introduced as "a song that I wrote back when I was getting rid of my second husband." Songs like "You Can Have My Husband" (a nod to Koko Taylor), "Bitch with a Bad Attitude," "Dump That Chump," and the hilarious, double-entendre- laden "Silver Beaver" are humorous and savvy, with topnotch, energetic performances from all three members. Yet Saffire have their serious side as well, as can be heard on "Lonely Nights," the startlingly tender "Hold Me Close," and the somber "1-800-799- 7233," a song about domestic violence (the number is for the National Domestic Violence Hotline). Though Saffire's sassy, clever humor is a major reason to listen to them, there's clearly plenty of substance here as well; their songwriting is first-rate, as is their choice of cover material, and it's all performed with skill and heart. Very highly recommended. --Genevieve Williams Product Description Live & Uppity is Saffire's first live release. It was recroded over three nights at the famous the Barns at Wolftrap in Alexandria, Virgina and features fan favorites like "Middle Aged Blues Boogie," "Once Good Man" and "(Mr. Insurance Man) Take Out That Thing." Also included are new songs destined to become Saffire classics "Silver Beaver," (hoo-rah) "Cold Pizza & Warm Beer" and more!
