R.E.M. - Got Live (If You Want It) Reviews

Average Rating: 4.5

Rating: 3
I've ordered two copies of this CD through Amazon.com, and in both cases the last few songs won't play.
I know there must be some existing copies out there that are not defective judging by the other reviews on this web site. I'd love to get my hands on a non-defective copy. The music that plays on this CD is great and the money went to a good cause. The only reason I gave it three out of five stars is because a third of the CD won't play.

This is a really cool CD containing artist's I am extremely familiar with - Shawn Mullins, Kevin Kinney, R.E.M., Guadalcanal Diary, but also has some up and coming artist's I have now become a fan of - Josh Joplin, Dayroom, Memory-Dean, Soul Miners Daughter, and Deacon Brody. It's a must to check out the Kevin Kinney track, "Chico and Maria" - his story telling is absolutely amazing and mesmorizing, and he is an incredible performer. Also, there is a hidden track by Josh Joplin and Shawn Mullins called "I've Changed" that is worth the price of the CD itself....well, maybe along with the R.E.M. song "Country Feedback", which is a live version of one of my favorite songs from the group. All and All, I love this album because of the diversity - it never grows stale in my CD player!

This Cd contains some great bands from Georgia including Shawn Mullins, REM, and Soul Miner's Daughter. All songs on this CD were recorded in Athens, GA and purchasing this CD will benefit a local charity. Buy some home-grown music!
