Frazey Ford, who you may recognize as the frontwoman for folk trio the Be Good Tanyas, gave us a live set of solo material that eased us smoothly back into action after a long holiday weekend. Her unique voice is the star of the show and it shines with the help of a few musicians in the studio, including her Be Good Tanya’s bandmateTricia Klein. She played our favorites off her solo debut, including “Firecracker,” as well as two killer covers – Bob Dylan’s “One More Cup of Coffee” and Otis Redding’s “Happy Song.” I’m an Otis devotee and I barely recognized the song until halfway through, which is a great compliment to anyone covering a track so well known. Frazey Ford certainly has a style all her own and it was a beautiful set this morning. Check it all out in the archives here
