 I love Neko :) April 16, 2010

Neko is one of my favorite artists... her vocal range is amazing and she is pretty funny at shows too. This album is one of my favorites because it shows that even live she doesn't waver. It is fantastic to hear someone with real talent and not a computer messing with their voice for the album. She impresses me more with each album! I love Neko!!
More Alt-Country Live, Canadian Style--From Texas March 16, 2009

Live From Austin TX," Neko Case's second live album, was recorded on 08/09/03 at Austin City Limits. As was the case with her first live album, "The Tigers Have Spoken," which actually was recorded after this one, in March and April of 2004, the overall sound on "Live From Austin TX" is alt-country. Unlike its predecessor, however, the music is more stripped down and there really are no uptempo rockers. While I slightly prefer the mix of songs on "The Tigers Have Spoken," the sparser instrumentation and slower tempo songs on "Live From Austin TX" really allow Neko's strong voice to come to the forefront, which provides further evidence that she really knows how to belt out a tune. All 14 tracks are very good. Highly recommended.
good for completists, not her best work August 22, 2007

If you're the kind of person who already owns Blacklisted, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, Furnace Room Lullaby, and perhaps even Canadian Amp or The Virginian, then definitely buy this album. But if you're new to Neko, or have maybe one album and are looking to expand your collection, pick up the other albums I listed first. And if you're looking for live Neko, start with The Tigers Have Spoken. In general, this is the last album of hers I'd recommend - although I still recommend it, on the grounds that I recommend that serious music lovers should own everything Neko Case has ever recorded!
The problem here is that it's too sparse and downtempo to sustain a whole album. It's an interesting experiment for a while, but several songs need a fuller sound, and the overall flow needs some uptempo. It's a good album to have in a shuffle mix on your iPod, but not to listen to straight through - try one of her phenomenal studio albums for a taste of what she can do with pacing!
Don't let this discourage you from buying this album, though... just buy other Neko Case albums first.
 ok.. not her best July 26, 2007
J. R. Levine (Sac Ca USA)
This cd is nicely done but does not contain any uptempo songs which while maybe not what she hangs her hat on are still very enjoyable. This cd grows on you but has no songs that leap out and grab you. I rate this the weakest of her cd's to date.

Beautiful album from a wonderful singer. She mixes country and folk as well as anyone. You would never believe this is a live recording. Don't nit-pik - just listen and enjoy.
