Suzanne Vega - An Evening Of New York Songs And Stories [Clear 2LP]

An Evening of New York Songs and Stories reissue 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, 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, the album 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, and a cover of her late friend Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side."
