Various Artists - Live at the World Cafe Three Flights Up - World Cafe

David Dye, host of the World Cafe says it best: "This is the best World Cafe CD yet." And on the CD, David and the World Cafe staff present 17 of the most incredible live performances recorded exclusively for the national syndicated show. Train, Steve Winwood, Phil Roy, Daniel Lanois, Ben Harper, Los Lonely Boys, John Eddie, Alexi Murdoch, Rosanne Cash, Joe Jackson, Pete Yorn, Amy Rigby, Azam Ali, Damien Rice, Mark Knopfler, Richard Thompson and Ziggy Marley make the all-star cut on this all-star edition, Three Flights Up.



Why Three Flights Up? This CD is named after the three flights of stairs artists climbed when they came to WXPN and the World Caf�. They literally had to walk their gear up three flights to get to the old World Cafe studios. Our old, beautiful building has no elevator - not a challenge for Alexi Murdoch, if it's just him and his acoustic guitar. But if you're the Los Lonely Boys and you've got stacks of Marshall amps and a big drum kit...well, lets just say each band that drags their equipment those three flights up, comes back down in much better shape!
