1992 live solo album taken from various locations during Cale'is 1992 tour thatoccupies the same territory w.r.t. An extensive back catalogue as Warren Zevon's Learning to Flinch.
Hughesy's assessment: The Island Years possibly works better as an introduction,but the Dylan Thomas settings and the dynamics of live performance definitely make this Worthwhile. Cale may be an acquired taste, but it's a taste worth acquiring.
