Light blogging today, as the Agitatrix and I are in New York City. We took the train up last night to see Joe Henry at Lincoln Center. Best concert I’ve seen in a long, long time. Henry and his band were fantastic, as was the special guest, the phenomenal jazz pianist Brad Mehldau. And I don’t think I’ve ever been in a better venue for a show. I’ll have a more thorough review a bit later. For now, enjoy the two tunes below. “Trampoline” is from the late 1990s, before Henry started forging his really unique, post-pop sound. “Time Is a Lion” is a cut from Henry’s latest album, Civilians. He played both last night.
