VOLUME TWO -- In August, 1995 KCRW and Mammoth Records proudly released Rare on Air, Volume 2, another in KCRW"s annual live in-studio performance series. Once again we've put together a group of very special songs - all recorded live in KCRW's live performance studio during "Morning Becomes Eclectic," hosted by Chris Douridas. This time around, Rare on Air features songs not found on record in any other form - including a soon-to-be pop masterpiece from World Party, a gem from the prolific Georgia songwriter Vic Chesnutt, Belly's Tanya Donnelly and Lou Barlow from the seminal lo-fi band Sebadoh. Rare on Air, Volume 2 documents the Los Angeles performance debut of the Dutch band Bettie Serveert, plus a song performed after an all night drive from San Francisco by the Cranberries - months before the Irish quartet achieved their worldwide pop-star status. Here also is Philip Glass' composition "Opening" from his "Glassworks" album, with Glass himself performing it for the first time in public. Meanwhile two rock veterans - Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell - offer intimate new looks at classic songs. More stunning cuts include the album"s lead-off track from the quirky New York-based Tokyo duo known as "Cibo Matto" (Italian for "food madness"), the Scottish songwriter Lloyd Cole covering the work of a notable Canadian songwriter, swamp folk from the elusive JJ Cale, an incendiary groove from MC 900 Foot Jesus, and alternative chanteuse Aimee Mann with an intimate story of another band.
