A few weeks ago, some HD channel was showing the “Music In High Places” featuring Ryan Adams. I hadn’t seen it before, but it was something I was always interested in ordering from the store on the old website. I’ll be honest, I actually had no clue what it was until I DVR-ed it and got a chance to sit down and enjoy a really interesting series of performances and cultural experiences. Anyway, the special was right around Gold, as that’s what the majority of the material was from; and the real standout track, for me, was “Touch, Feel & Lose” with a bunch of Jamaican kids.
I’m not sure if I like the performance because of the choir of little Jamaicans or if it’s just the really cool acoustic arrangement, but it gave me a whole new appreciation for the song. It had always blended in with the rest of the songs on the album for me, but I feel like that particular live recording captured the essence of the song. Really, I find it hard to go back to the version found on Gold, so I guess it’s a good thing I have the audio from “Music In High Places” on my computer, isn’t it?
Cool song with a really great performance officially released…
