Product Details

Suzanne Vega has always been a quintessentially New York artist, her songwriting rooted in the street-level observation and literary precision that defines the best of that city's tradition. Captured at the intimate Café Carlyle, this live set finds her in a setting that suits her perfectly, a storied Manhattan room where the audience is close and the performance is unguarded. The clear vinyl pressing gives collectors a chance to own one of her most personal recordings in a format worth pulling off the shelf.

An Evening of New York Songs and Stories reissue 2 LP on Clear vinyl. Vega revisits some of the most iconic songs in her repertoire as well as more hidden gems in a stunning live recording on which she is backed by longtime guitarist, Gerry Leonard, bassist Jeff Allen and keyboardist Jamie Edwards.Recorded at New York City's famed Café Carlyle in early 2019, An Evening of New York Songs and Stories includes both familiar songs like Luka and Tom's Diner and deep cuts from her catalogue like Frank and Ava and Ludlow Street. The mix of repertoire also features New York Is My Destination from Lover, Beloved: Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers, Vega's one woman play about the Southern gothic novelist Carson McCullers, and a cover of her late friend Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side.
