All of the tracks sound great and really do justice to Guy Forsyth and the band members - which is a pretty tall order. There is really nothing that beats seeing them live - but this is really damn good.
Title track "Calico Girl" sets the tone with a lonesome-sounding harmonica intro that wasn't present in the CYLW version and maracas that lend an almost wicked foreshadowing, countering Forsyth's more intimate "whisper-in-your-ear" mood.
"Faith" - With male voices instead of female backing up on this version, "Faith" takes on harder, heavier edge. The harp has a bit more prominence in this one too (listen around 2:05 for those playing at home.) Even with harmonica getting more of the 'spotlight', the guitar work still seems heavier than the Can You Live Without version.
"Children of Jack" - Forsyth's increased range really shows in this song. "Children of Jack" and "If I was Sick" both showcase the deeper range of his voice ten years later.
"True Friends" finds Forsyth sounding wiser, his voice a bit stronger on this track then he did 10 years ago.
This will definitely be in my rotation for quite awhile.
