Pete Yorn at his best

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Pete Yorn is one of those guys that will never fit in a box. He just loves to make music. Sometimes you'd say he's a singer/songwriter - one of the best around. Next time you pick an album he's rocking the house like crazy - like on Nightcrawler.
Whatever you think he is, you've got to admit he's got character. As to writing songs, he's pure genius.
This magnificent live set, recorded in Morristown on October 29, 2003 (yes, just on one night), has PY shining with some of his greatest songs from the first two albums - but he of course doesn't stop there.
Check out the opener I Feel Good Again by Junior Kimbrough (terrific keys by Joe Kennedy)
You thought you knew Suspicious Minds? Take in Pete's version and think again.
The recording is state of the art - like being there, lost amidst the fans.
While you get this one, please also click into the samples of Break Up, the album he did with Scarlett Johansson. A lot of people don't seem to like her voice but I think they add up perfectly. Four stars for that one."
