Be Not Nobody, Harmonium, and Heroes & Thieves are all ONLY $5.99 on iTunes(USA) right now. If you don't have those albums already, check them out while they are at such a low price!

Those three albums are also on sale on iTunes in Canada, $7.99 each.

Rabbits on the Run is $10.99/$12.99(deluxe) in both Canada and USA.

[SHOOTER]

Operator is my favorite record of hers yet.

[myhouse911]

Liberman has now fallen off the iTunes top 200 albums in Canada, and down to #185 in the U.S. Currently in the U.S on Amazon, the deluxe version is #380, and the vinyl record is #31,161. In Canada on Amazon, the standard version is #2,808. Deluxe version is #5,871. Vinyl is #1,371.

I'm hoping she will chart on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, but I don't think it will appear on there after the debut week.

[Luckie Starchild]

I got it and am digging it. :)

[myhouse911]

Liberman debuts at #32 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart. Unfortunately, it does not make an appearance on the Billboard 200. Her tour started a week ago, hopefully seat sales for these shows are going well.

On a slow week, roughly 2.5-3k.

Hopefully he will go with you, it looks like a really good and intimate show. Quite a few tracks from the new album, and maybe a handful from previous albums. I've read good things about her opening act, Joshua Hyslop, as well.

She announced a second leg to her tour for Winter 2016, and hooray she's stopping in my city!

Didn't get a chance to see her during her "Rabbits on the Run" tour, so I hope she performs some songs from it too.

Good interview with AllMusic.

Thanks for posting... I think that's my favorite song on the album.

[George]

I'm loving this original version (aka Steve Osborne Remix) of "Nothing Where Something Used to Be":



About this version:

"This is an interesting remix situation cause this version of the song was actually the first version. Steve and I experimented a lot while we were exploring the palette of what Liberman should be. We looked at this as an experiment and when we moved on to the next chunk of songs this version didn't fit on the album. I was doing my dance workout one day a couple months ago and this version of the song was way deep on a playlist and popped up. I really loved it but had forgotten about this attempt. I sent the song to my manager and he was like we gotta release this! So here we are.”

“I asked my friend Colin Devin Moore to create a visual for it and he came up with this video concept. I basically sang into a camera one morning on tour and he created what you see here. I love the attention to detail in the video. And the edit is really beautiful and perfectly links with arrangement of the song. This is a world I like to dip into every now and then.”

I'm surprised that her album is just coming out now in the UK/Europe!

[George]

Her next album will be a live edition of Liberman:

Vanessa Carlton Looks Back on 'Be Not Nobody' 15 Years Later: 'I Wasn't Ready to Release An Album'

[George]

She announced a Six Covers / Six Months series this year.

#1:

What Vanessa has this to say about this cover - "It’s great when a song with nuance like this blows up in pop culture. The lyric is so clever. Once I took it on, I realized the structure is far more unconventional than you might think as well. Plus I got to play with members of the band Deer Tick on this. They happened to be in Nashville when I was recording this song. Dennis Ryan played drums and Chris Ryan played bass. So fresh. "

About the music video:

The twee archival footage that comprises the video was compiled by director Patrick McPheron, who originally caught Carlton’s eye on YouTube. McPheron has since worked on several other videos for Carlton, including 2015’s “Take It Easy.”

“I was immediately struck by his musicality and his eerie aesthetic,” Carlton tells Billboard. “I love it when you come across a video that is so compelling that you have to watch it until the end… how rare!”

The visual collage is the perfect fit for Carlton’s organic take on the 2010 electro-pop anthem, which tones down the propulsive production for a loose and earnest approach, with the help of Deer Tick’s Dennis and Chris Ryan. "I love the juxtaposition of this video....how prim and proper these couples are set against a song about betrayal,” Carlton notes. “It’s very Patrick.”

I enjoyed that much more than I expected! Go Vanessa

What Vanessa has this to say about this cover - This song is epic. I feel like a lot of people don’t attempt to cover Fleetwood Mac because the personality of these songs are so distinct. I admit, I was terrified to do this, but I sang Dreams on stage at a BMI event honoring Stevie Nicks. I was 7 weeks pregnant at the time. No one knew. I got to sing the song with Stevie’s band, which was pretty great. Waddy Wachtel, the musical director gave me “the nod” during rehearsal. Which, I think meant he approved. Or, at least, I’m praying that’s what it meant.

I knew the only way I could honor this song was to get an amazing band. My friend Patrick Hallahan (My Morning Jacket) is one of my favorite drummers. He lives in Louisville and despite being super busy, woke up early, drove to Nashville, played the song and drove home. All before noon. The gorgeous harmonies were done by the Watson Twins, Nashville locals, who are also from Louisville. And the guitars were all done by Adam Landry, who also produced the track. We sent the song to Stevie for approval, and we got the seal. Dream team!

is she still with Murder Inc?


I loved "White Houses" by her--what a masterpiece. She has always kind of reminded me of a spoon though.

What Vanessa has to say about this cover - Neil Young is one of my favorite artists because of his ability to be vulnerable. He is unafraid to be himself in his work, which isn't an easy feat. He is one of the greats because of this. Since having a child I am even more attune to the rawness of this song. The artful simplicity of this lyric coupled with the cyclical feel of the music makes this song one of my favorite worlds to live in.
