Her appearance on Austin City Limits was last year, July 8, 2008, and she played a short setlist:
- Seven Angels on a Bicycle
- Absence
- El Salvador
- She Ain’t Me
- 50’s French Movie
- Never Gonna Be Your Bride

As you can see from the list, she did half of Seven Angels on a Bicycle and her most recent studio album, She Ain’t Me.
If that small sampling isn’t enough for you – I am happy to report that Carrie Rodriguez just released a live CD called Live In Louisville, available directly on her website. At the time of the live recording, April 24th, 2007, at the WL Lyons Brown Theatre in Louisville, KY, she only had her debut album Seven Angels on a Bicycle material to work with – so it’s no surprise that her setlist is practically Seven Angels on a Bicycle done live, with the exception of “Mask of Moses” which sounds like an early version that would later appear on She Ain’t Me.
The other non-album tracks includes a cover of bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe’s “You Won’t Be Satisfied (That Way)” and an all-instrumental jam song “Blackberry Blossom”. “Blackberry” serves as a nice break in the middle of the hour music set.
It’s rare, but whenever Rodriguez talks between her songs, it’s with this deep southern accent. Especially when she ends a sentence, her last word is stretched out, like: “We’ve had so much fun playing music for you guuuuys“.
“Never Gonna Be Your Bride” made for an excellent closer to her live album (I’m assuming “St. Peter’s” was the encore). I’m sure it would’ve been more effective if she changed the “Austin” in “Never Gonna Be Your Bride” to the city she’s playing. In this case, “Sister Liz, say c’mon down, tell me what you’ve been doing this night in Louisville-town“.
The recording and mixing, thanks to Kevin Madigan (and edit and mastered by Matt Stein) is excellent. Each note and breathing vocals can be heard loud and clear – and equalized. Even when Rodriguez is asking “Just a little more vocals“, it sounds perfect to me.
Live In Louisville is available now, you can find her previous albums on her website or Amazon. Be sure to check her out on tour, where she’ll be performing with either a full band or as a solo artist. If the Austin City Limits or Live In Louisville are any indication, she’s great live.
