iTunes Review

You don’t have to be a Neal Casal disciple to dig this 19-song-deep collection of live recordings, B-sides, demos, and previously unreleased tracks. Those unfamiliar with the man’s work may even find All Directions a good starting point. “You Don’t See Me Crying (Live at the Paradiso) opens with Casal singing and playing a piano sounding like Emitt Rhodes’ take on Paul McCartney. “Freeway to the Canyon (With Ryan Adams & The Cardinals) (Live)” follows to reveal that Casal is much more than a Cardinal – Adams recognizes the man’s talent enough to let him play one of his slow burning ballads during a live show. The demo of “Grand Island” is of course more stripped down than the lushly produced studio version, but you get a glimpse of the song’s basic skeleton with flowing arrangements, easy-on-the-ears melodies and Casal’s self-harmonies putting the magnifying glass over his charismatic inflections. With an acoustic guitar and some reverb on his voice, Casal transforms Beachwood Sparks’ “The Reminder” into a beautiful desert dirge while turning Terence Trent D’Arby’s “Wishing Well” into a playful party romp.

Customer Reviews

WHAT AN AMAZING SURPRISE!!!

I saw this dude with Ryan Adams and he blew the roof off of the joint. He's one of the most heartfelt musicians I've ever seen live. And the trick is to see him live, either with Ryan or by himself. The man sings like he means it. And it's beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time. Check out Detroit or Buffalo for an amazing tune. Other highlights include Sleeping Pills in Stereo, You don't see me crying and too much to ask. Keep it up Neal Casal. You and Ryan spark together, but you have a light all your own.

What The Europe Knows

Walk into a music store in Paris or Barcelona and your likely to hear Neal playing on the store sound system. His music and great voice has been appreciated for years and hopefully he will soon receive the same recognition in the States. If you like what you hear on this disc, check out his studio albums especially "No Wish To Reminisce" and "Anytime Tomorrow".
