notes

This long-awaited live recording from Small Potatoes includes some new settings of old Potato Favorites plus a whole bushel of previously unrecorded concert gems. This is a real concert experience – with all the great stories and the bad jokes of an evening with the Spuds.

Small Potatoes says, "WVBR’s Bound For Glory is a fabulous and lo-o-o-o-ong running (40 years) live radio show with a very much alive audience broadcast from Ithaca NY. Phil Shapiro has been hosting these shows for all that time. If you were listening on the radio on any given Sunday night, you’d hear three sets of live performance interspersed with three more sets of recorded music. We boiled down six of our visits between 1998 and 2006 into a three set show, just like you’d hear if you were tuning in."

  • a lot of fun!

    I first heard Small Potatoes when a program on my local community radio station, WFHB-FM, played "Avocado." I made a note of the group and the name of the CD and tracked it down. Now I've listened to the whole thing, and enjoyed it tremendously. I hope SP come to Bloomington sometime; I'll be in the audience, singing along.

  • Small Potatoes Alive"

    Live folk music is always more entertaining. This is an awesome album with some of my old favorite songs and a few new ones.

  • Nice variety of humor and more serious folk--enjoying it!

  • Folk Music is Alive and Well
    author: Charlie Scott

    The CD is A Great Work of Art. I am a fan of Folk music and this is the best i've heard in years. (Small Potatoes Alive) Looking forward to seeing them in Concert Soom.

  • Gotta love those spuds!
    author: Brent Heustess

    Listening to Small Potatoes is a joy, especially a live performance. They put so much energy and love into their work. If I cannot have them play live in my living room, then at least I can listen to this CD with the volume cranked up.

  • Lot of fun, good songs, minor sound flaws.
    author: Jim Mecklenburger

    Small Potatoes is always so much fun in person that a live recording was a great idea, and the recording succeeds admirably at capturing the flavor of a live performance. The sound quality, especially in the spoken portions, is slightly below what one expects from CDs, but don't let that spoil the fun of having a new SPUD recording to enjoy.

  • They're the best
    author: Ellen & Chester Perryess

    Small Potatoes Alive CD drops the listeners right into a Small Potatoes concert, & what better place is there to be? Tap your feet, laugh, cry, sing-along, and laugh some more. They're the best.

  • Just like having Small Potatoes in your living room!
    author: Russ & Julie's House Concerts

    We've loved Small Potatoes for years. Rich and Jacquie are so much fun in performance, and their great music always brings a smile. This CD is just like having Small Potatoes in your living room -- and we'd know since they have performed in ours. Every time we play this CD we want to contact them afterwards and thank them for spending the time with us. Now we can all get Small Potatoes in our living room with this great CD! Thanks Rich & Jacquie.
