 Live Review: Steve Wynn
Halfway through the gig, Wynn settled for a short acoustic set, with an impressive version of what might be one of the very best songs he’s ever written: the gut-wrenching “Merritville,” which sounded as impressive as the several electric versions that exist of this song.
Wynn and his backing band clearly were in the mood and kicked off with a rocking version of “Candy Machine” (one of six tracks taken from Static Transmission), before launching into the desert-stomp of “Southern California Line.” Then I realized something was missing.
Wynn played most of his latest album’s highlights – “The Ambassador of Soul” combined funkiness and swiftness just like it should and the gorgeous pop-psychedelica of “Sustain” is still one of his very best songs, in my opinion.

 Steve Wynn & the Miracle 3: Static Transmission - PopMatters Music Review
