In the years since Michaela Anne's 2019 Yep Roc release of Desert Dove, the songs have taken many forms from many different stages. This selection of live tracks, recorded with a full band at Layman Drug Company in Nashville TN, is bookended by an unreleased cover of The Judd's classic “Why Not Me”. This song has always been an example of holding many lives for Michaela. It has held various meanings in different moments and felt only fitting to share alongside the live versions of her favorite Desert Dove songs.
With the touring of this record cut short in 2020, it felt as if the record hadn't fully been liberated. These renditions carry the familiar lyrical prowess from Michaela as well as capture the essence of a both comforting and powerful performance.
