The Waybacks - Way Live (2003)

By popular demand!! A live recording by one of the hottest string bands in America! This third release by the popular San Francisco group captures the energy, enthusiasm, musical virtuosity and irreverent humor that have come to be the hallmarks of a Waybacks performance. Die-hard fans and virgin Backaroos alike will enjoy the mix of new originals (Let's Eat, Monkey Pants), live versions of tunes from the first two CDs (Been Around, JNPT, Bright Place, Saltflat Rhapsody), and a few tunes that just need to be heard in a live setting (Hesitation, Swallowtail). On-fire fiddling, jaw-dropping flatpicking, vocals your mother could love, classic flat-picked guitar, wonderfully unpredictable bass solos, and drumming that even the drum Nazis can appreciate - all this and more on a CD that will provide literally minutes of entertainment.
