Product Description Live Under The Red Moon Review Hearkens heavily to the indwelling mysteries that Dylan, The Band and Van Morrison also heard. -- TIME MAGAZINEOne of the most literate lyricists in rock n roll. -- ROLLING STONE About the Artist From the release of their self-titled debut in 1982, The Call, hailing from California’s Bay area, established themselves as a breed apart. Led by Michael Been’s passionate song writing and gripping baritone, they burst on the scene like they knew everything was up for grabs--because it was. For over 10 years and seven albums, The Call forged a virtual poetic that sought to include not only everything fine and rare in the music’s pantheon, but each of humanity’s qualities and flaws as well. And with only one personnel change in their history, Been, Scott Musick, Tom Ferrier, and Jim Goodwin kept on charging all through their disbanding in 1990, where the mantle was picked up again on Michael Been’s “On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakthrough” in 1995. This collective gift, this melding of mood, emotion and technical skill, won The Call many critical accolades and the praise of their peers who often guested on their recordings. Musicians such as Robbie Robertson and Garth Hudson from The Band, Peter Gabriel, T-Bone Burnett, U2’s Bono and Simple Minds’ Jim Kerr, all participated in recording sessions at one time or another. In fact, The Call were celebrated by their peers, which is an achievement not so easily come by in this hyper-critical age. In addition to the critical accolades, The Call also had commercial radio success with the hit singles “The Walls Came Down”, “I Still Believe”, and “Let The Day Begin” which hit #1 in June of 1989. All three tracks have now become staples on modern alternative radio playlists around the country. Live Under The Red Moon, produced by Michael Been, is the first live album released from The Call and was recorded during the Red Moon tour in 1990. See more
