Ty Segall can seemingly transform his music from Glam Rock God to Grunge Rocker at will, but the prolific rocker can do just about anything well, and that includes intimate stripped down acoustic sets . In the Summer, Segall went on a short tour of solo acoustic shows in various New York City venues accompanied by Wand’s Cory Hanson, and it was a very different concert experience from the usual Segall stomp-fest, but it sounded just as good. It’s no secret that Segall is a huge Neil Young fan . He even has a tattoo of Young’s name on his right arm on the Wednesday night at Baby’s All Right, he trotted out a cover of Neil Young’s “For The Turnstiles.” At the Mercury Lounge on the Friday night, he played an entirely new song live, hilariously introducing it as a song “about a tree growing inside of an airplane” before admitting after playing it that “I lied, it’s a love song.” It’s not clear if it was written as an acoustic song or just adapted with the rest of his stuff for the show, but it sounds great either way. Also at the Mercury Lounge he played the Cars’ “My Best Friend’s Girl.”
The prolific Segall released an EP and two live records—one with the Ty Segall Band and another that was a split with King Tuff . Earlier this year, In the Red revealed plans to release albums by Segall’s bands Fuzz and The Traditional Fools .
