{"product_id":"ben-folds-live","title":"Ben Folds Live","description":"Amazon.com\n\nBen Folds Live is a stellar exception to the rule that live albums are contractually obliged stocking fillers. Folds is at his best on stage with only a grand piano for company. He is a compelling showman who's blessed with an unforced charm that complements the anger and melancholy that informs most of his songs: the self-lacerating \"Army\" loses nothing by having a hall of people bellowing the saxophone and trumpet parts as Folds conducts them. The material here spans Folds' work with the three-piece Ben Folds Five as well as 2001's excellent solo debut. The readings of \"Fred Jones,\" \"The Luckiest,\" and \"Brick\" display an immediacy and intimacy that transcend the recorded versions. A couple of worthwhile curiosities--a minor chord rearrangement of \"Song for the Dumped\" and a faithful, affecting version of Elton John's \"Tiny Dancer\" round out the offerings. This is an impeccable document of a superior performer at work. --Andrew Mueller\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00006L3QM\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00006L3QM.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ben Folds\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
