Search - David Berkeley :: Live from Fez CD/DVD

Imagine a road trip in Nick Drake?s old car, give Ryan Adams a seat, Grant Lee Phillips is there, maybe Beck has the wheel and Joni Mitchell is giving directions. The music they?d listen to would be pretty close to the music of David Berkeley. His voice is warm like a tumbler of bourbon. He believes in the lyrics he writes, and he sings them from the marrow of his bones. David Berkeley's newest CD, Live from Fez, captures a single show (February 22nd, 2005) with David's full band--their final show, in fact, before the legendary NY listening room closed. The emotionally-charged set features four new songs, including the hauntingly timely "Hurricane" and the heartbreaking "Glory." Also included are a sampling of crowd favorites from his first two studio albums, including "Red," "Little Fists" and a solo version of "Fire Sign," which David wrote for CBS-TVs 'Without a Trace.' The disc comes with a bonus DVD with footage of 4 of the songs from the concert at Fez. 'Live...' is the only album ever released from Fez and captures Berkeley at his emotional and comic best. "We wanted to give something back to the place that basically developed us," Berkeley explains. "Fez was really our home for a couple pivotal years. And I wanted to let people see and hear a show without any studio magic. I wouldn't have done it anywhere but Fez."
