Music reviews of Out There Live
Music Review: An Excellent Introduction to Dar's Discography
Rating: 5 Stars
Better than a best of album, Dar William's 2001 release Out There Live allows listeners to acquaint themselves (if unfamiliar) with the artist's work and access, though remotely and with the limitations of recording, her intense appeal. Live performance brings new life to songs previously recorded and released, and, although Williams couldn't transmit herself over the airwaves, she manages to re-channel some of the power from her presence onstage onto CD.
Her introductions to "I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono" and "The Babysitter's Here" complement the music in such a way that one might even miss them when listening to the original records. At least, that was my experience when I went back to The Green World (2000). The studio cut of "I Won't Be Your Yoko Ono" lacks the energy of that included on the live album, despite the force of Williams singing a song that is distinctly hers. The Hammond Organ/Mellotron at the beginning of the studio track overpowers the other elements of the piece and leaves it sounding, to my ear, overproduced, that is, in comparison to the latter version. With Out There Live, Williams cleans up - and, as is the case with "I Won't be Your Yoko Ono," sometimes speeds up - her earlier work, effectively making that which was good even better.
After you buy this album, and, I assure you, you should, check out "Iowa." Williams proves just how much a little guitar strumming can do. Choice simplicity underscores some of her most eloquent performances, and lyrics which somehow reflect the essence of childhood and adolescence mark some of her most affective pieces, including, "If I Was a Boy" and "Are You Out There."
With tracks like "Teen For God," Williams's most recent CD My Better Self matches the quality of Out There Live and may, given some more time, replace it as my favorite album. Either way Williams remains my favorite, rating, in my book, above Tracy Chapman (new album: Where You Live), Martha Wainwright (sister of Rufus, daughter of Louden), and the righteous babe herself Ani DiFranco (who can be heard, sort of, on the new Dar album). Seriously, folks, buy Out There Live.
