Album Description
A 2-CD live collection of 25 songs (including We Are Each Other's Angels and Dangerous Times and two new ones, Lili's Braids and Armitage Shanks) plus spoken intros by singer/guitarist Chuck Brodsky. 'One of the finest singer-songwriters in America. There are a lot of good ones, but when it comes to the really great ones it boils down to a select few - he's one of them' - Larry Groce, Mountain Stage (NPR). Recorded live at The Sautee Nacoochee Center in Sautee, GA, The Grey Eagle in Asheville, NC, and The Cobblestone in Dublin, Ireland. Don Porterfield played fretless bass and sang harmony.

One of the most amazing collections of folk songs I have ever heard October 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't know how I managed to miss out on Paul Brodsky, but I did. I'm hoping this review will give some folk music fans the word. He's a great singer songwriter whose music is both topical and moving. I'd agree with the assessments that Brodsky is one of the best songwriters out there.
"Two Sets" is 25 magnificent songs recorded in various venues across the world from Dublin, Ireland to Asheville, NC.
Subjects range from racism and baseball (Richie Allen), small towns, immigration, and religion.
Favorites:
"Letters in the Dirt" talks about Richie Allen's baseball career in the 60's. Being a Black player, there was a lot or racial tension, which Chuck never understood and his father never explained.
"Lilli's Braids" impossible to listen to without tears in your eyes. This one's about a young Jewish girl who gets her braids cut to save them from the Nazis.
"Come theres and been heres" This song details the difference between longtime residents and newcomers in a small town.
"La Migra Viene" talks of Brodsky's experience being the only legal white person on a crew of Hispanic immigrants picking apples in Washington. The title is what the immigrants shouted when the yellow Immigration bus showed up.
"We are each other's angels" talks about doing good deeds for each other.
"Talk to my Lawyer" talks about our litigious society.
If you love folk, particularly biting humorous tunes, you really need to listen to this collection. It's really well worth the money.
