Conventional wisdom dictates that an artist should not release a live album as her second record, especially if it follows the debut by a matter of months. However, Erykah Badu is not a conventional artist and Live is not a conventional live album. While her debut, Baduizm, earned strong reviews and healthy sales, her concerts became equally popular and she became known as a powerhouse live performer. Live solidifies that reputation, delivering soulful, gritty versions of cuts from Baduizm, a few covers, and the spectacular new single, "Tyrone." Not only does it illustrate the depths of Badu's talents, but Live is as strong and captivating as Baduizm.

I was shocked since the closest she's been to me...

Damn it! Damn it to hell! I HATE when I have to eat my words. But at least I'm man enough to admit when it's happened. And Erykah Badu & My Morning Jacket make the words at least taste great.I had told a certain someone, mainly Amber & the Coachella crew, that I didn't care much for MMJ after the rave-a-thon over their live set. In fact, I went so far as to nickname them My Morning Jackoff, heh...
