CITY SERIES: PARIS ONE TAKES (2010)

2010 “Paris One Takes (City Series)” is a full-length live studio album that features 15 songs, culled from both her first award-winning album, “L’Entredeux,” produced and co-written by Joey Burns of Calexico, and her second album, “L’Abandon,” released in late 2010.

Recorded in one afternoon in Paris, France in December 2009, with a band tight as can be from 30 dates in one month over seven European countries, “Paris One Takes” was available as a free download for its first year, a gift to all the fans and friends who helped make these first couple of years of touring a dream come true!

“I’m crazy in love with this recording! I feel this is the best live/studio recording we’ve ever done. The band is tight, exciting, excited! Feels like the singing is freer and raunchier, yet still sensual and tender or, as Brian quipped, « it’s matured ». We were all having fun on tour and that recording shows it! A year after its release, the first album, “L’Entredeux,” gets re-invented by the best live band I’ve ever gotten to tour with, while the second album, “L’Abandon” gets hinted at in a promising way! Enjoy this ‘in-between’ album!” md
