" The Bad Pennies operate as a cohesive band, not just a backing group. Their vocal interaction on "These Coal Town Days" shows their depth of experience together. Tracks included on Live include staples of Lowe's concerts, such as "The Soda Man," "Just like Moses," "Old Bones" and "Back in Durham Gaol." There is a minimum of the applause and long introductions that often make a live recording tiresome, leaving the listener with fine singing, a dandy band and a heap of great songs." - Ivan Emke, RootsWorld

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
