Jennifer O'Connor opened. While, like Rose, her songs are personal, they are much more earthy, but no less alluring. Matador Records will in August release her 3rd solo album - ‘Over The Mountain, Across The Valley, and Back To The Stars’. This was the first date of a campaign where, in a no doubt ground softening effort, she seems to have got herself booked into every NYC venue going over the next month or two. She was joined by Kendall Meade on some songs, but is solo on the song I've picked - 'Garden Dirt' - which is unrecorded, as of now.
