This is a reissue of a rare title from a handmade label created by collectors for collectors, which was distributed only in very limited quantities. While copies quickly circulate these days, this item is an officially licensed reissue from the master tapes.

This is a live recording from 2010, the year after the release of his masterpiece solo album, *Get Lucky*. It features traditional-sounding tracks, including the famous "Border River" from the same album. And of course, he delivers a superb performance of Dire Straits' killer tune, "Sultan." His trademark is his fluid phrasing and Stratocaster tone, often layered over his own vocals. The setlist is shorter due to it being a festival performance, but the soundboard recording boasts pristine, high-quality audio.
