     Live in Europe, recorded in The Netherlands, is Amy's first live concert release. This project contains material recorded during tours of Europe in 1996 & 1998, including selections from the European World of Bluegrass Convention and the Big Bear Festival in Holland. In the few years since, there have been changes in band personnel and, of course, the song repertoire has grown. Amy says,
     ...Although there have been changes, those earlier years are still very much a part of who I am, musically and personally. Having the opportunity to tour Europe was -- and still is -- a dream come true for me, light years away from singing on the porch of the Idaho Rocky Mt. Ranch watching the sun go down behind the Sawtooth Range, or riding up to my gig at the Lone Mt. Ranch North Fork Cabin in the horse-drawn sleighs in the bitter cold of a Montana January night. This album is for those of you -- on both sides of the Big Pond -- who have supported us through the years with your incredible enthusiasm and "positivity". And for those of you who have asked me to record a song with yodeling, there's a couple in here for you too.

    For those of you who have yet to see or hear AG&S, we look forward to meeting you at a show. Until then, we hope you'll enjoy the energy in these concert recordings.
