Amazon.com Many songwriters rely on introspection and world-weariness to fuel their compositions. Perhaps it's easier to craft powerful lyrics and a hypnotic melody if your soul is tortured. But D.C.-based folk duo the Kennedys have not taken this route. Positively Live, a 14-song collection that seeks to capture the renowned energy of their stage performances, is filled with songs of hope and optimism. All tracks feature two voices, two guitars--nothing more. However, this sparse presentation is not enough to make the Kennedys more palatable. Pete's captivating solos and lightning-fast picking cannot mask the duo's limitations, mostly their simplistic, syrupy-sweet lyrics. Die-hard fans may swoon, but newcomers should check out the Kennedys' 2000 release, the electronic-influenced Evolver, for a more intriguing offering. --Sally Weinbach Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsYay for the Kennedys... Yay for Yay! 05/30/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album is 90% representative of a live Kennedys show (you just can't get that extra 10% without being there). It's wonderful, including "new" mixes of tunes, some of those quintessential Kennedys medleys, and even some commentary. It's truly a POSITIVE experience, bringing you into a groovy Beatles-like, jam band, folkie, retro, rock experience. Highly recommended." To even things up a bit. 04/14/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Just out of curiousity, how many times is one be allowed to "vote" on these ratings? steve+numbers has voted twice, has cast all the negative votes, and up to now represented 50% of all ratings. gimme a break." Great CD 04/18/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Out of all that is available on CD by the Kennedys, this is probably their best effort, if you were to buy just one of their CDs. Some of the cuts are "extended" versions of previously issued material."
