Ive been listening to DtB for a few years now,and the second half of "Let Love Move Me" from this show is absolutely special,some of the most "moving" music that I have heard!!Tara is pullin some sweet stuff outta that fiddle,blending nicely with the piano!!

This is a great example of the amazing energy coming through this band from Blue Heron through Buffalo. Jeb's playing is truly inspired and note perfect on most of these tracks - I've really never heard him play with such confidence and grace. Its just beautiful. Tara's voice is unusually strong and her playing too - particularly violin - is more intense and focused than ever. Also, they finally have Kathy up in the mix where she belongs. She's playing great - and her increased use of accoustic piano has brought a new and welcome warmth to the keys component of the mix.

"Seems to Want to Hurt" and "If you only could" from this night are to my ear, among the best versions ever - "Let Love Move Me" is gorgeous too - but the real news here lately is how many great tunes have come out of this big rush of new material. "Locket and Key," "Temporary Misery," "Garden of Eden" and "If You Were to Love Me" among others - are shaping up in to really wonderful songs. This band is working at the top of their game right now. Really, every show from the month of July is worth a download -with Grassroots as the certerpiece of a remarkable run.

Wow! I am really digging this show. It sounds like the band was having a blast. The performance is great as is the mix. Another great show by Donna the Buffalo!

I haven't made it back to the Blue Heron Festival since I moved to Texas 10 years ago, but shows like this bring back alot of memories for me. Every year I anxiously await the recordings from this festival, and every year I'm more impressed. The band seems to draw a certain energy when they play here that shines thru in their music. The recording mix is top notch as well.
