Synopsis

Album Description

Named after the address of New York's much-loved Joe's Pub, Lafayette is the acclaimed songwriter's first official live album and an on-record invitation into her other world, the stage, where she spends more than half of every year knocking 'em dead nightly. Over 13 tracks, Lafayette captures the energy and musicality of McKeown as a bandleader and entertainer extraordinaire. Lafayette is one night in the life of a performer at the peak of her powers.

CD Reviews

I love Erin, but this is not her best.

Katie Clark | Pittsburgh, PA USA | 10/04/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I've been to about 5 Erin McKeown live shows in the last 2 years, and own all of her records. I was excited to hear about Lafayette because I LOVE her live shows, especially with Allison Miller (drummer). This album, though, fails to capture any of the energy, heart and abandon that I've come to expect from her live shows. The rhythms are very restrained here (almost frustratingly so...), and the whole show seems far too orchestrated. The keyboard sticks out like a soar thumb on most tracks. Highlights = Blackbirds, Slung-lo, Melody. Lowlights = You were right..., James, To the Stars. If you really love Erin, then of course you should buy the record, but if you're a more casual fan, I would stick to her previous albums."
