With harrowing tales of a marriage in free fall, 1982's "Shoot Out the Lights" (Rhino) garnered the English folk/rock duo rave reviews, but by the time it was released, they were already exes. However, a world tour had been booked and they bravely soldiered on, recording many of the tumultuous shows for posterity. This new two-CD edition of their acclaimed album is back nearly 30 years later and it still packs an emotional wallop – brimming with pain, regret, longing, and passion. The first CD is the original studio album. The second presents live performances of the original's classic tracks like "Did She Jump or Was She Pushed," along with 10 others such as the heartbreaking "Dimming of the Day." A must for fans, an unforgettable introduction for potential new ones.
