Comment:

This is the second volume of the series on live recordings. This time the songs come from an acoustic setting, which is my personal favorite when atte_nding a show. There are so many terrific "listening rooms" around the country like The Birchmere (near D.C.), The Iron Horse in Northampton, Mass., Cat's Cradle near Chapel Hill, NC, Eddie's Attic in Decatur, GA, and so on and so forth. Supporting these venues helps to promote new music and keep singer/songwriters working, some of whom travel around on a shoestring budget. I recall meeting Edie Carey one night at Eddie's Attic after her set and hearing her tell about life on the road when one is riding around in a car that's held together with bailing wire. Clearly, however, she does what she does for the love of music and performing. And she's very good at her craft, just not in the way that's ever going to fill an auditorium or make her a lot of money unless some movie soundtrack or commercial picks up one of her songs.

So this mix is a tribute to the musicians who play the acoustic clubs and cafTs. And there is a quiz for someone to win a free copy of this mix. Amy Rigby was once married to what session/backing musician?
