Live recording of Genya’s 2005 set at the legendary CBGBs that plays for 66 minutes and contains 14 rocking tracks, exactly half of which are from her 1978 “Urban Desire” LP, which is one of her best and are of the time period when CBGBs was at its’ wonderfully scuzzy peak. The fact the Genya was belting these tunes out when she was already well into her sixties is a testament to her enduring talent. Let’s see if any of the current crop of manufactured pop princesses can pull anything like this off in the years to come. The band sounds terrific; there is a mini jam-session near the end of “Wet Spot” where they really get cooking and you can close your eyes and just imagine being there hearing it live. When I lay on the floor and listened to Genya singing “I’m Flying” it was like having a religious experience!
Genya fans need to get this, and I also highly recommend her most recent studio album, 2019’s ICON which actually has become my new favorite album of hers.
