Title: Crows Live
Review: Across The Wire is a double live disc from the band. The first is an acoustic based set from their performance on VH1 Storytellers and the second is an electric set from their MTV Live At The 10 Spot show. Some songs crossover and appear on both discs, but that's a good thing. You get to a hear song like "Angels Of The Silence" which is a harder-edged song in its original electrified version as well as acoustically. The band is in top form and Adam Duritz can sing the heck out of a song in any style. The one major problem I have is with the Storytellers disc. The show has artists explain how they came about writing the songs they are performing and for some inexplicable reason, the band decided to edit those parts off the disk. That is a major reason to watch the show and their absence takes something away from the listening experience. That criticism aside, the album is still a good listen.
