The spiffy re-release of the 1999 live album, complete with special extra track at the end! Featuring tracks such as the rousing "All of This," the touching "Rain and Sunshine," and the downright goofy "Bomb Threat in New Rochelle," this snapshot of a hard-working, hard-playing live troubadour just about lives up to its name!
Says Sam; "I could talk about my musical influences but then I would have to admit the hours I spent dancing to Duran Duran in my bedroom years ago. So instead I'll tell you that I graduated from Cornell University, (I swear I was over them by then... but I'll always have a soft spot for John Taylor...) and currently I'm based in my hometown of New York City and touring from San Francisco to Scotland.
"My second album, perfecT, self-produced and released on Brown Chair Records, has been getting airplay across the country and was voted #7 out of 1800 titles for Best Independent CD of 1999 at CD Baby.com.
"Who knew that hours of singing along to "Hungry Like the Wolf" could amount to something?
Hope you enjoy the CD!"

My 13 year old daughter plays Sam Shaber every morning as she gets ready for school. I can't help but hear the real passion of this talented young performer ooze out of her music. "Perfect" is a wonderful collection from the first song until the last. Put it on and loop it and you will get caught up in "Perfect" too.

This CD is perfect! Wonderful example of indie/folk music. I first heard Sam Shaber on NPR in Kansas City and I have been in love with her sound ever since. I only wish I'd found her sooner.

When I first checked out Sam Shaber's promo materials, I thought "Oh no, not another acoustic guitarist"! But then I listened to her live, and she played a track from this album entitled Honey. I can tell you that Sam Shaber is not the typical singer-songwriter. She is vibrant, expressive, sexy, a talented musician, and true to her art. The chords and vocals on Honey were simple, yet heartfelt and expressive. Her guitar was hypnotic; the instrument's bass chords for Honey were surprisingly memorable, and I was hooked. I hung on her every word. Live music is incredible, and that's why you should pick up this live CD if you want to experience real emotion. She also had an interesting syle of playing which she dubbed "urban bluegrass", and I even heard a slight reggae influence as well in some of the other songs from this album. Pick this one up and support live music!
