producer: Natalie Merchant
label: Elektra Records - nationality: USA
3rd album release by Natalie Merchant is a live recording from a concert at The Neil Simon Theatre in New York, and the full title of the album is Live in Concert, New York City, June 13, 1999. It consists of 11 tracks with 7 written by Merchant, and it features a fine cover of Bowie's "Space Oddity", and an even better version of Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush".
All in all, it's a rather fine album, although, Merchant seem a bit too laid-back at times, but I do like the idea of releasing a full concert instead of picking live recordings from here and there.
