Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

When competing against some of the most influential Blues artists in an era when the genre seems to have flourished exponentially, with both genders quite rightly having major success, critically as well as pleasing the every burgeoning audience, to release a live album rather than a recording in which to offer something new might be considered slightly reckless. However in Oli Brown, the word reckless should never be used, it would be a wild impulse to label something so pure as irresponsible and in Oli Brown’s Songs From The Road, the laid back beauty of his work is more than enough to understand that to be captured live on recording is sometimes a good thing.
