Kevin Morby and Waxahatchee: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
April 14, 2020 | Bob Boilen -- On the raw video Kevin Morby and Katie Crutchfield (aka Waxahatchee) sent to us, Kevin takes a deep breath, gives a sweet smile as he looks into his camera, clasps his hands, and says, "Hello everyone, we're going stir crazy - this is take number 55." The performance, though, feels fresh and relaxed. Recorded at Kevin's tiny desk in Kansas City, they play two songs from Waxahatchee's new album Saint Cloud, sing together on Kevin's 2016 tune "Beautiful Strangers," and find new meaning in the late Jason Molina's song "Farewell Transmission."
SET LIST
"Fire"
"Beautiful Strangers"
"Lilacs"
"Farewell Transmission (Songs: Ohia Cover)"

RIP Jason Molina. Easily one of the greatest songwriters of all time and such a tragic loss.

Why can't people just say "an amazing songwriter"? Do you understand how unreasonable it is for pretty much anyone to identify the greatest songwriter of all time? Have you listened to all the songs, in all the nations, in all the different languages?

I've seen Katie so many times because she seemed to always be the default opener for indie bands when they would come through Philadelphia and she was living here. I've seen her when it was just her and her guitar, I've seen her with her full band as the headliner, I've seen her join other acts on stage as backup and every time I've seen her she's just been amazing.

Farewell Transmission is such a powerful song. And as is often the case on this show, the Tiny Desk version is even better than the recorded version. The recorded version does justice to the original. Here Kevin and Katie don't merely do it justice, they elevate it. Molina's compositions shine in this stripped-down format. I'd love to hear a Tiny Desk version of Dark Don't Hide It.
