But in my defense, I think one reason I didn't post it then was because I thought the sound quality was a bit iffy. Her "Home Concerts 1" was recorded in a single setting, and generally sounded pretty good. But this is a collection of different sessions, some just a single song, and some sounded better than others. Luckily, since 2020 audio editing technology has advanced quite a lot. So I used the programs Audacity and UVR5 to make these sound better. They still don't sound fantastic, since it's obvious Colvin just turned on a microphone in her house and didn't have optional studio conditions, but it's very listenable now.
As you'd expect from home concert recordings from a pandemic, all of this is solo acoustic. And Colvin is quite talkative between songs, usually giving more insight into the songs and how they were created.
There's one more volume of her home concerts. If I don't post it in the next few days, someone please remind me so I don't wait another couple years before I remember!

The cover is a screenshot I took of her YouTube video of the performance included here of "Lovers in a Dangerous Time."
She's great and her stories are always entertaining. If you can find her Austin City Limits show, with the band, including Steuart Smith, now with Eagles, and Larry Kline, that would be great.
ReplyDeleteI just looked for that and didn't see any trace. Sorry.
