A showcase for her virtuoso guitar playing, with some interesting interview segments (though it would be debatable how many times one would need to play those back), this is a trip through
Ian's back pages and is her first ever live album available in the U.S. (recorded at New York's Bottom Line in 1980). Accompanied by a crack, three piece who can alternate among bass, fiddle, guitar and keyboards, the highlights are when
Ian approaches the piano (
"In the Winter") or takes on her most famous numbers,
"At Seventeen" and
"Society's Child" with only her acoustic guitar. The disc makes a great case for what the world's missed since
Ian retreated from the performing spotlight.
