KCRW - Rare On Air Recordings - Vol. 1

[DudeAsInCool]

VOLUME ONE -- For the past 11 years, KCRW's innovative music programs have presented live on-air performances several times a week from the station's performance studio. The variety of musicians who have performed reflect the wide ranging styles and genres that make up KCRW's eclectic music programs. R.E.M., Tom Waits, Rickie Lee Jones, Charlie Haden, Liz Phair, The Drummers of Burundi and PJ Harvey have all performed live in recent years. Fortunately, all of the performances are recorded for posterity directly to two track tape, so these on-air moments are preserved in their live and unpolished state. The musicians all perform together in one room, and the atmosphere in the studio is casual and loose. The spontaneity and energy contained in many of these performances is often unmatched by heavily produced commercial recordings. In 1994, KCRW produced Rare on Air, Volume One (Mammoth Records MR0074-2) which brought together 16 memorable takes from the KCRW live performance archives. The album was produced by "Morning Becomes Eclectic" host Chris Douridas and KCRWProduction Director Bob Carlson.
