Sam Phillips - Creators at Carnegie, NPR, Zankel Hall, New York City, 10-19-2004

Sam Phillips doesn't get nearly as much attention as she should. I really like her stuff. So when I found this FM sourced bootleg a few days ago, it went to the top of my pile of albums to post. It's a concert broadcast on NPR radio in 2004.

In the 1990s, she had a poppy, Beatlesque style that should have made her a big star. Then, in 2001, she came out with the album "Fan Dance," in a more intimate, acoustic style. It was still great stuff, getting lots of critical praise, but she basically turned her back on her earlier style at that point. In 2004, the album "A Boot and a Shoe" came out, again in her new style. She was on tour to promote that album when this concert happened. She only played one song from her 1990s era, "Animals on Wheels." So this mostly consists of songs from her 2001 and 2004 albums.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. There were some cases where the sound of cheering at the end of one song didn't match the sounds at the beginning of the next song. So I did a little bit of editing to make those transitions sound good. 

This album is 43 minutes long.
