Reviews
Brief online review by The Big Takeover
Playing the entirety of his 1984 masterpiece I Often Dream of Trains (albeit in an order different from the recorded version) backed only by two other musicians (including a former member of THE HIGSONS and yes, he also played “Listening to the Higsons,” among other songs). A short encore followed the main set, with the aforementioned “Listening to the Higsons” in addition to the title track of the album and the title track of 2006’s wonderful Ole! Tarantula. World Cafe Live, with its amazing sound, was also the perfect venue for such an intimate, mostly quiet performance.
