David Byrne Live From Austin, TX (CLEAR SPLATTER VINYL)

David Byrne is a modern renaissance man - and thats not just a clichÈ. From the heady days as co-founder of the celebrated art new-wave group Talking Heads (1976-88) through his own constantly evolving and innovative solo music career, he has pursued his muse on many different artistic fronts. Hes been the driving force behind a body of work that has been both intellectually daring and commercially successful...and he shows no signs of slowing down decades later.

This show, captured on November 28, 2001, came on the heels of his hit single, Like Humans Do and the release of the album Look Into The Eyeball, which was another typically eclectic musical stew reflecting a variety of styles and influences, from Philly soul to a D.C. Go-Go inspired groove and his first-ever Spanish composition, Desconocido Soy. Critics at the time called it his best work in years, and his performance on the Austin City Limits stage shows why. Joined by Austins own eclectic tango ensemble Tosca, Byrne takes us down many different musical roads in his ACL debut.

Of course, besides the brilliant songwriter and performer that he is, hes also an accomplished performance artist, photographer, web journalist, film writer / director, composer of motion picture soundtracks, and founder of his own world music label, Luaka Bop Records.

He also has a collection of Grammys, Oscars and Golden Globes on his mantel. His music may be complex and poetic, but he makes no bones about his ultimate intent: I want to move people to dance and cry at the same time.
