Live at the New Penelope Cafe on LP

180gm vinyl LP pressing, includes digital download. Available for the first time on vinyl, Live At The New Penelope Café, recorded in Montreal in 1967, showcases the legendary folk/blues duo in unusually lively form. It's possible that the duo weren't even thinking about the fact that they were being recorded which resulted in a less stiff and formal performance than they could sometimes deliver when playing in front of white collegiate audiences. The result is a record a bit louder and noisier, but also more exciting than most of their other live albums - the voices mesh together a bit rougher and more honestly than they do on some of their other live releases. The sound is clean mono, with the audience present but not overly obtrusive.
