Liner notesAn evening immortalized

I have been to Carnegie Hall with Nina Simone in the spring of 1963. Went to the Renaissance Fair with The Byrds and drifted with Paul Butterfield Blues Band and many others at Monterey in 1967.

Had the Folsom Prison Blues with Johnny Cash and helped Kick Out the Jams with MC5 in 1968. Been All Around this World with Grateful Dead in 1969, had the London Blues with Canned Heat, and felt Absolutely Live with The Doors in 1970.

I found One Way Out with The Allman Brothers Band at the Fillmore East and had Love in Mind with Neil Young at Massey Hall in 1971.

Went down Cypress Avenue with Van Morrison in 1973, carried The Weight with Bob Dylan and The Band in 1974, and lived on Solid Air with John Martyn in Leeds in 1975.

I was Ready for War with John Cale in 1979 at CBGB before finally being Homeward Bound with Simon & Garfunkel at Central Park in 1981.

Live albums have transported me through space and time and exposed me to artists and venues that are now sadly long gone. Without these live recordings, I would never have been able to experience what some of my favorite artists sounded like in front of an audience.

These albums serve as a time capsule of musical history and are a way to communicate with future listeners. The purpose of this record is one and the same — to document and to preserve.

Our live performance, cut in the grooves herein, was in part a celebration of the release of our third album, Autumn of Love. To commemorate our musical influences, we covered two songs that were both penned in 1967. In spite of being written on each side of the Atlantic Ocean, they share a common musical expression and style.

This is what Big Sky Country sounded like in 2022. This was not just an evening among evenings. No, this was an evening. Immortalized. ✽

Big Sky Country is a Danish alternative folk rock band,centered around singer, songwriter and producer Philip Skovgaard.

“It should be unnecessary to even mention, but we are actually not playing country music at all”, Philip Skovgaard states. He is the singer, songwriter and producer of Big Sky Country.

Formed in Denmark in 2009, Big Sky Country describes their music as a cross between folk and alternative rock – never nearing the country genre.

“Although we are from Denmark, we are named after the state of Montana – known for its lakes, mountains and vistas. The name resonates in us and our music. Our songs tend to evolve and grow – in sound and on the listener – ever-changing like landscapes”, he concludes.

After two years of intense work with their debut album «The Handshake», a new approach was needed. Big Sky Country underwent a transformation – in members as in sound.

Their follow-up album «Movements» was released in December 2015 to great critical acclaim. «Movements» went on to spent two weeks on the top of the Danish Vinyl Chart (Hitlisten.NU) – something that no other original Danish indie band and label has done before or since.

Big Sky Country’s third album «Autumn of Love» was released on the 12th of November 2021. Available now in two vinyl variants. More info on this link.
