Recorded in March and April 2004 at clubs in three French cities (L’Arsenal in Metz, La Coursive in La Rochelle and La Cigale in Paris), Live: A Fortnight In France features Barber delivering five originals and five covers rendered with romance, edginess and esprit. “This recording is a concert,” says Barber. “What you hear is what we play at the Green Mill [in Chicago] on any given night. It’s a typical show: fifty percent covers and fifty percent originals.”
