Lizz Wright has a new album out titled Fellowship. I have been enjoying it a lot. It has more gospel music than her previous albums have had, though all of her music has had a pretty strong gospel influence. I cannot find much live performance of the songs on the album, but I am going to go ahead and do this post with a video for one of the songs, and an interview/performance from Mountain Stage. She does sing Amazing Grace on the album. At one time a year or two ago there was a video of here performing this song, which was probably one of my all time favorite YouTube videos. I cannot find that video anymore, but if it shows up again, I will be sure to post it.

"I Remember, I Believe", written by Bernice Johnson Reagon. This is my favorite track on the album.



An interview interspersed with some performance clips from Mountain Stage.

I saw Lizz Wright last weekend at Town Hall in New York. I did a post of her videos last fall after I saw her in Philadelphia. She is definitely one of my favorite singers.

No video from the concert I attended, but she did perform this song at the concert, Neil Young's "Old Man".



"Song for Mia" she wrote with Toshi Reagon, who she performs it with in this video. Reagon did not perform with her last weekend, but she was in the audience. Also this song was included in the soundtrack of the movie The Secret Life of Bees.



Finally, here is "Trouble", my favorite song off her album, Dreaming Wide Awake.

A couple Lizz Wright videos. This first video is of one of the songs I saw here perform Saturday at the Billie Holiday Tribute, "I Love You Porgy". This video is actually from a tribute to Nina Simone, but then a lot of people have done this song.



The next two songs were not performed at the concert I saw. but they are some of my favorite Lizz Wright videos. First a performance of "Hey Mann" with Toshi Reagon. This song is off here most recent album, The Orchard.




There was a video of Wright doing "Amazing Grace", which was my all time favorite version of that song. I think that video has been taken down, because I have not been able to find it for a while. So here is another good song off of her album Dreaming Wide Awake, "Hit the Ground".
