Live
in Europe
July 2001
..There is nothing fancy here, no overdubs, no complex
computer mixes.
Just live music recorded masterfully.

Live
in Europe,
recorded
in The Netherlands, is Amy's first live concert
release. This project contains material recorded during tours
of Europe in 1996 & 1998, including selections from the
European World of Bluegrass Convention and the Big Bear Festival
in Holland. In the few years since, there have been changes
in band personnel and, of course, the song repertoire has
grown. Amy says,
...Although there have been changes, those earlier years
are still very much a part of who I am, musically and personally.
Having the opportunity to tour Europe was -- and still is
-- a dream come true for me, light years away from singing
on the porch of the Idaho Rocky Mt. Ranch watching the sun
go down behind the Sawtooth Range, or riding up to my gig
at the Lone Mt. Ranch North Fork Cabin in the horse-drawn
sleighs in the bitter cold of a Montana January night. This
album is for those of you -- on both sides of the Big Pond
-- who have supported us through the years with your incredible
enthusiasm and "positivity". And for those of you
who have asked me to record a song with yodeling, there's
a couple in here for you too.
For those of you
who have yet to see or hear AG&S, we look forward to meeting
you at a show. Until then, we hope you'll enjoy the energy
in these concert recordings.
"Live
in Europe is
a wonderful, joyous recording. I couldn't bear to do it
the disservice of trying to listen and work at the same
time. I'm going to drive home with it on loud where I can
enjoy it with my full auditory attention...it's super; the
kind of thing that is fresh and exciting enough to make
me want to keep pickin', and spinning 'em on Saturday mornings!"
