Album Of The Day: Live by Jennifer Knapp

Released 20 years ago today, this the first live album from Jennifer Knapp, a folk-rock musician most well known from the late '90s and early '00s. Recorded during this era and assembled by her guitarist Mark Lee Townsend, this album is an excellent collection of recordings that captures how Jennifer's live shows differed from the album versions, at least when performing with the full band. Captured here along with some of her biggest hit songs are some of the bits of a concert, such as getting the audience to cheer and talking about how big the crowd is tonight. And "His Grace Is Sufficient" has a long guitar solo in the middle that goes into intros of all the band members complete with a bit of a solo, which is really fun. The energy of her live show is captured well and you can tell Jennifer Knapp and the band were having fun doing a rock show. Closing out the album and keeping the audience in suspense, the song "Undo Me" has a very long intro where the band vamps with a different version of the song with the same lyrics before jumping into the regular song. It's a fun hour of music from mostly her first two albums and quality live recordings.
