This live album from Grammy Award winner Dave Alvin captures the trademark sound of one of America's best songwriters - and one of the country's best live bands. Recorded in early 2005 at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana, The Great American Music Galaxy features Dave Alvin backed by The Guilty Men: Chris Gaffney, Chris Miller, Gregory Boaz, Bobby Lloyd Hicks and Joe Terry. Previously available only at Dave's shows, this release is a must for fans of his solo work, his groundbreaking work with The Blasters, his legendary guitar playing with bands like X, Tom Waits, Los Lobos and Little Milton, and anyone who truly cares about quality American music.
