From the 10/26/06 Tulsa World:
Dwight Twilley releases CD recorded at local club
Dwight Twilley has a lot of material hitting the
market this year. First, there's a disc containing two
re-released solo albums -- 1982's "Scuba Divers" and
1979's "Twilley" -- and there's a new live CD taken
from two nights last year at the Venue in Tulsa.
The CD, called "Dwight Twilley Live All Access," took
about a year to produce. The 18 songs have an upcoming
DVD of the performance, Twilley said.
"It's the first live album I've done," he said. "So
it's not only unique because it's a live album, but
it's also kind of a career retrospective so a lot of
the fans are going to hear virtually songs from almost
every album, and a lot of the songs that I normally
wouldn't perform live we did, which was a lot of fun."
The CD, released through Digital Music Group, shows
that his sound hasn't changed in more than 30 years.
He plays classics like "Why You Wanna Break My Heart,"
as well as the hits "I'm On Fire" and "Girls."
Twilley selected the best performances from the two
nights' of shows. The songs capture Twilley's energy,
wit and the multi-instrumentalism that made hits out
of his guitar-driven rock and roll in the 1970s and
1980s.
"Why You Wanna Break My Heart" is one of the strongest
performances on the CD, showcasing Twilley's stunning
duet with backing vocalist Susan Cowsill .
"It was particularly helpful having Susan here. It was
just a gas," Twilley said.
Instead of charging admission to the shows on Aug.
29-30, Twilley took up donations for Washington,
D.C.,-based Children's Rights Council. The nonprofit
organization works to keep children in contact with
their parents regardless of their parents' marital
state, the group's Web site states.
Twilley's backing band included former Brian Parton
and the Nashville Rebels members, bassist Dave White
and drummer Bill Padgett. Tulsa Sound musician Larry
Bell plays piano on "Cryin' Over Me."
Shortly after the performances, Hurricane Katrina
struck New Orleans, destroying Cowsill's home and
killing her brother, Barry Cowsill. Twilley dedicated
the album to his memory.
Twilley said he's planning a show in December to mark
the DVD's release.
Fans can buy the live CD through his Web site,
www.dwighttwilley.com. The re-released solo albums can
be found at www.cduniverse.com, and www.amazon.com.
