Last night, Cambridge's own Club Passim hosted a rockin', rollin', preachin', folky, gospel show from the inimitable Michelle Shocked. (Actually, Passim hosted two shows, but we only went to the early one. We're old folks, and it was a school night.) I was really psyched because it's been so long (5 years) since we last saw her, and because Erin McKeown was backing her up on guitar. I'm happy to say that the show did not disappoint. Also picked up a copy of Michelle's newest live album (link to follow later-- this is just a quick, Blackberry-driven post, so my link fu is impaired.). Great show, excellent company, and yummy pizza from Veggie Planet— what's not to like?
Her new album is called To Heaven U Ride, a live performance recorded at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. She played almost all of these tracks during her Passim set.
