Just released
The new "Live" CD from the Mary Shaver Band
Recorded at Blues Alley - Washington D.C.
January 5th, 2004The decision to record had been of-the-cuff to begin with. In December of 2003 Mary, Keith and I were discussing long-term plans for her next MSB studio album, when the thought of an interim "live" production occurred to us. A couple of phone calls to OK the concept with the band members and club management and that was it!
At 8:10PM, the band took the stage for two opening tunes featuring Keith on vocals and guitar.. then Mary made her entrance. From the first song, she was clearly in fine form. The comfortable atmosphere suited her mood and she delivered a set that ranged from a raging "Tee Nee Ni Nu" through a sultry "Your Good Thing" to the softness of "Out of the Rain." Throughout, the Alley crowd was treated to vintage Mary as she swayed, danced and hip-shot her way around the stage, red hair ablaze in the lights.
