Sara Lee and her band were one of the most amazing live occurences i’ve ever experienced. Her album is similarly amazing, but the full sound of her live band isn’t echoed on the record. Depite the slightly more minimalist production, the album works better because it makes Sara’s clear british vocals and her amazing bass playing more of the sonic center of gravity. The live mix had much more rhythm and low end surrounding the bass part, with the vocals floating above as melody more than clear words.
