Description
Live is a live album by the American singer and songwriter Jennifer Knapp, released on Gotee Records in January 2006, distributed by EMI CMG Distribution. The album was produced by Mark Lee Townsend and mixed by J.R. McNeely.
The history of this collection is important in understanding why in 2006 we are listening to Jennifer Knapp as she was in 2001. It is a long story starting with a decision by guitarist/producer Mark Lee Townsend to record some of the nights during her first headlining tour in 2001 to make a souvenir collection for all those involved. At the end of the tour the tapes disappeared for four long years before coming to light. On listening they were proved to be good enough not only for their intended purpose but also for general release, hence this CD. A laudable decision was made to leave them pretty well alone to give a real feeling of what it was like on the nights in question. The other thing about the live shows was that they were not just carbon copies of the two released albums (‘Kansas‘ and ‘Lay it Down‘) and the works in progress for ‘The Way I Am‘. The CD captures Jennifer and band in full flow revealing the freshness and honesty in her songs that led to her speedy rise. Some of the on stage comments are also interesting with Jennifer sounding quite surprised by the success she was enjoying. It’s these little extras that make it all the more interesting for those of us who are still hopeful of hearing something new from Jennifer one day. [John Baugh, Cross Rhythms, May 2006]
