Highlights range from a nine-minute medley of Alvin's \"Little Honey\" and Bo Diddley's \"Who Do You Love\" to the honky-tonk country of \"Highway 99\" to the raucous celebration of \"American Music\" that has been Alvin's anthem since his days with the Blasters. Not since Creedence's John Fogerty has a roots rocker mined such a rich vein of Americana, though material such as \"Haley's Comet,\" \"Blue Boulevard,\" and \"Wanda and Duane\" find Alvin's hard-bitten lyricism growing increasingly dark as it matures. While his half-spoken, half-sung vocals lack the nuance of the best of his songwriting, a killer band featuring drummer Bobby Lloyd Hicks and keyboardist Joe Terry provides propulsive support for his stinging guitar. --Don McLeese\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 794268498906\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0794268498906\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e VN\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43710733451523,"sku":"8F-2YBG-SQSZ","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51d8lOnU2yL.jpg?v=1675395309","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/dave-alvin-and-the-guilty-men-out-in-california-live","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
