Waiting for Suzy |
Her accompaniment was lead guitarist Paul Kramer and bassist Charlie Chadwick. Suzy played rhythm guitar as I think most lead singers do. She sang many songs I knew, from Aces mostly which is the one album I owned until now. She also included several traditional American folk songs that everyone knew all from her most recent album - in 2011. One she didn't play that I would have loved to hear was "Music on the Wind" from "Aces."
Her live performance "voice" is a bit more "clipped" than you get in the studio recordings -- her voice doesn't soar quite as much in live sets. If you are familiar with the limitations of live performance I don't need to explain why. But no matter -- it was wonderful and I loved every minute of it. It was like having a great performance in your own living room and Suzy Boggus has one of the purest, sweetest singing voices you've ever heard. This lady can sing and her back-ups were top-notch.

What a warm human being and a class act. I'm really kind of irritated though. Now I have to buy a lot more of her music. Just can't help it.
