Twenty choice cuts culled from the awe-inspiring Fruit Bats 2022–2023 live shows.
Eric D. Johnson says:
"In early 2022, when we embarked on a national tour in support of the Sometimes a Cloud… compilation, our longtime sound guy / best bud / spiritual advisor Nathan Vanderpool thought it might be a cool idea to run some proverbial “tape” at any venue that could provide such a thing. In the scattered opportunities when we could, we did…and that directive then ran over into the A River Running to Your Heart tour last year, too. These songs are from a random assortment of shows in a wide spectrum of cities. A different vibe with each song and each night—very much how tour kinda feels… It’s a nice little memento of a couple of crazy and often magical years of live shows."
