Pressed on exclusive limited edition color vinyl, Live From Austin TX captures David Byrne's legendary 2001 Austin City Limits appearance—the former Talking Heads frontman at his most joyfully theatrical, backed by a band exploring the Brazilian and world music influences that had consumed his post-punk years. This PBS series archive release from New West Records preserves a performance that felt like a one-man cultural exchange program, blending "Psycho Killer" and "Once in a Lifetime" with Latin rhythms and global percussion.

Byrne's ACL appearance came during his Rei Momo and Uh-Oh period, when he'd moved beyond art-rock minimalism into maximalist celebration. The performance captures an artist who'd collaborated with Brian Eno on ambient soundscapes now losing himself in candomblé rhythms and salsa arrangements. Austin's famously devoted audience gets a masterclass in evolution—the same songwriter who helped define post-punk proves equally comfortable with congas and mariachi horns.
