♪♫ Alex Chilton - I Walk The Line/Motel Blues/Someone To Watch Over Me/Wouldn't It Be Nice

On the night of February 13, 1997 Alex Chilton and his band were getting ready to play their second set of the night at the Knitting Factory in New York City when the lights went out. What happened was this album, a spontaneous off the cuff performance. This is Alex thinking on his feet, in the moment, bouncing songs and ideas off the folks that stuck around for a real one-of-a-kind exchange. --- as close and personal as it gets
