Philosophy ~ Allison Crowe Band version

2011-05-27 4

Before Allison Crowe returned her song "Philosophy" to its place in her repertoire as a slow-burning modern blues for solo piano, it was a rocking closer to her band shows early in this decade.

This is the version performed by Allison Crowe's trio - of Allison on vocals and piano, Dave Baird on bass, and Kevin Clevette on drums - one afternoon in 2001 as the trio made their way to Seattle, Washington to play for Pearl Jam fans from across the continent. The band was captured live-off-the-floor by Turtle Recording's Larry Anschell (PJ, Sarah McLachlan, k-os, and more).

"Philosophy" closes the "Lisa's Song + 6 Songs" EP/CD - just as the song concluded many a concert when Allison Crowe rocked out with her band. As the final song of a concert set or encore, Allison would often build to a coda of Pearl Jam's "Jeremy".
