Doug’s notes:
This cd was compiled from various gigs and radio shows recorded in Holland and Switzerland. we did an amazing live radio broadcast called ‘leideskade live” in a big studio in Hilversum, Holland. There was a very enthusiastic studio audience, which can be heard on the recordings. We shared the bill with chris duarte and the boo radleys [who didn’t show up…so we had to play longer…which was great for us!] we also did swiss radio/tv international at the BEA in Bern with another great live audience. ‘back home in louisiana’ came from that session.  
The majority of the material was recorded at mahogany hall in Bern and the Gaskessel in Biel. Both concerts were great! We had very big and responsive crowds...and a LOT of encores!  after the show, my friend olivier viret [who shot photos at the Gaskessel show- and shot the cover foto for this cd and 'living the blues'] said i was "like a white james brown!" - unfortunately the complete 20 minute version of 'rectified spirit' is not on this cd. There was a lot of music to choose from… and a lot more that hasn’t even been edited YET! 
this cd is out of print and I’m not going to press it again; but some material from it, and other live shows, will be available in the near future from one of the cyber labels. check the news page for info.[c]2011 DOUG DUFFEY
