This is an audience tape (that I didn’t make) of a live show at CBGB sometime in 1977. Chris Stamey on bass, I don’t know who the drummer was. Alex does a little of everything here: Box Tops, Big Star, solo stuff… everything sounds like a cover version and it’s all really fun.

02 She Might Look My Way

The vocal arrangements on this record are just outstanding, probably due to the presence of Curt Boettcher – a guy who would be responsible for nearly as much ear candy as Brian Wilson for the next decade or so. Part of what makes this record so much fun to listen to is the e-nun-ci-a-tion of every syllable, and if you listen closely you can actually hear the apostrophe on words like ramblin’.
