Review

Live captures the wackiness and musical acumen of the Asylum Street Spankers equally well. Their humor -- which can make the music sound near-parodic -- may frustrate some purists, but their talent for folk-blues, string band music and jump blues may win them over yet. There's a bit more energy and flair on Live than their studio albums, which helps make it their best record to date.~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
