In
2004, Little River Band celebrates its twenty-nineth
year as an enduring musical icon. During that time
they have had ten top-ten hits in the US charts, and
have sold over twenty million albums worldwide.
Little River Band is proud to introduce their new
live CD, "One Night In Mississippi". It
features fourteen songs, including nine of their biggest
hits and includes songs from their last studio album,
"Where We Started From".
The live CD came about almost by accident. A new version
of "The Night Owls" was to be recorded for
a compilation CD intended to raise funds for charity.
The band decided that as long as the tapes were rolling,
why not record the entire evening's performance. After
hearing the tapes back, everyone in the band agreed
that the excitement of LRB live had been captured.
"We've always upheld a high standard of excellence
when we take the stage", says bass player and
lead vocalist Wayne Nelson. "The band just seems
to get better with age", echoes lead guitarist
Stephen Housden. "After being in the band over
20 years we are both having more fun onstage than
ever".
Rounding out the band are drummer Kevin Murphy, Glenn
Reither on keyboards and sax, and Greg Hind on guitar.
All are part of that rare breed of musicians who achieve
simultaneous excellence with instrumental and vocal
skills.
LRB has always been acclaimed for its vocal excellence,
and this recording is proof of that.
Little River Band continues to excite audiences all
over the world. If you've seen them perform, you'll
want to have this CD in your collection. If you haven't,
this CD will change your mind about what a great band
should sound like live.
