Kevin Morby continued his run of excellent New York performances back in March with this show at Baby’s All Right. Morby’s “Still Life” has been a hit with fans, and he has honed the live versions into entities of their own. This show was thronged, bodies pushing all the way to the back of the room and spilling into the bar area. Morby seemed at ease with the crowd, and he ought to be; being a former New Yorker, Morby’s reception should be as strong here as in his adopted hometown of Los Angeles. It has taken us a bit longer than usual to share this performance, but that’s in no way a reflection of how strong it was. Morby closed out with a song we first saw tested out last year, Bill Fay’s “I Hear You Calling”, which transitioned into Morby’s own “Parade”.

Baby’s All Right engineer Harrison Fore recorded this set; I mixed it down and finalized the tracks. The sound quality is outstanding. Enjoy!
