    Trisha O'Keefe: Live!

    Trisha O'Keefe: Live! I've got a back log of things to report on, so let's start with a pair of acoustic albums. First up, my darlin' from Philly, Ms. Trisha O'Keefe.

    After picking up her All the Honest Liars, listening to it, and then saying my peace. Well, sometimes people listen.

    If you recall, I said:
    "Not having seen her live yet, I don't know if her look matches with the rock sound she strives for, but listening to it, I feel like she should be accompanied by just an acoustic guitar more often than she is."

    And, lo and behold, Live!, who's greatest failure is it is only 6 tracks long. Over the course of the tracks (recorded at the Tin Angel), Trisha manages to turn an acoustic guitar into a sprawling rock conerct while still maintaining the intimacy of a coffee shop. In my mind, it takes a great talent to do that.

    Take a listen to Never Enough, Nobody's Love, and Drowning Me Slowly for a good sampling of this gal's range.

    In the end: Acoustic fans will love it. Rock fans will love it. Anyone who likes Trisha, of course, will love it.

    On the web: The EP is only 6 bucks on iTunes. Or, if DRM frightens you, hit up ItsAboutMusic.com and get it in wide open and clear Em-Pee-Three. Also, only 6 bucks. You won't be let down.
