The reason I asked whether it's live or studio is that I recall Rosie
taping some live shows last spring in San Antonio or somewhere around
Austin, no?
Is it more on her twang side, or more on her bluesy side??

Yeah, Rosie recorded two nights at Cibolo Creek here in S.A. - was pretty
abysmal.
Classic example of what *not* to do when recording a live album, (start, stop,
tune, start over, wait, tune, start, stop, wait) and they charged *admission*
for this opportunity to hear the interaction between recording crew /
producer, which for some ungodly reason came across the house PA. Record
company who commisioned the project rejected it, (can't remember which) and
last I heard, the tapes were resting in some vault.
Here's Joe X's tips for good live recording:
1) Make sure the red light's on.
2) Try to forget you're recording.
3) Put on a friggin' show. (or go rent a studio ferchristsakes)
4) Don't expect anyone to be happy about spending $$ to "watch sausage being
made." (as a local music writer wrote of this fiasco)
I love Rosie, but this was a big mess.
