Saturday night I caught Jenny Lewis at the Apollo Theater. Sarah Silverman opened. A really great performance from Jenny (and her talented band), if a bit short (one hour for the main set, plus a three-song encore - hey, ask Willie how it's done). A bit of a shame at that - if you just have 2 albums, shouldn't you get to most of both of them? Rabbit Fur Coat? Born Secular? It Wasn't Me? Alas.
Highlights of the show for me: "Jack Killed Mom" as the opener; Acid Tongue; and "Love Hurts" (duet with Jonathan Rice). "The Next Messiah" was also stellar.
Perhaps the most amusing part was Jenny's homage to the Apollo Theater and its patrons: "You have had a lot of great artists over the years here in Harlem."
