- Live_at_the_Mauch_Chunk_Opera_House abstract "Live at the Mauch Chunk Opera House is the fourth album by the Canadian folk trio The Wailin' Jennys.In the last week of August 2008, the alt-folk group The Wailin Jennys arrived at the Mauch Chunk Opera House with confidence, a lot of equipment, and a goal of laying down a live recording to capture the magic of their performances in the famous Mauch Chunk Opera House, in the town of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. Gorgeously lush, flawlessly precise harmonies are the hallmark of The Wailin Jennys. You might think such precision would suffer in a live recording. But in this case, you'd be wrong. That's especially remarkable because "Live at the Mauch Chunk Opera House" was recorded during a single day, rather than being compiled from an entire tour. But maybe that's really not so remarkable: as thousands of concert-goers and millions of Prairie Home Companion radio listeners have discovered, every single Jennys performance is magical. Finally some of that live magic has been captured in a recording.This is the Jennys' first live album. It's also the first since Heather Masse, the group's third alto, joined founding members soprano Ruth Moody and mezzo Nicky Mehta, and since they added instrumentalist Jeremy Penner as sideman.Masse contributes a gorgeous, versatile voice with an amazing range. She blends perfectly with the voices of Moody and Mehta, while adding a soulful, jazzy influence to the Jennys' roots, folk, country and Celtic themes. Penner's inventive, dynamic fiddling seems at times distinctly unstructured, in marked contrast to the Jennys' precise harmonies. But the contrast works well, adding an extra dimension to the group's live shows, a little spice with the honey.Mauch Chunk has two originals from each of the three Jennys, including Mehta's "Begin," which features prominently in the soundtrack of the movie "The Cake Eaters." Also included are two long-time Jennys concert staples that they haven't previously recorded: Jane Siberry's "Calling All Angels" and Ella Jenkins' "Racing with the Sun." But the most striking cover may be the live a cappella rendition of Lead Belly's "Bring Me a Li'l Water Silvy," previously recorded by the Jennys' on their 2003 debut self-titled EP. The new version provides a striking illustration of continuity and change during the group's seven-year evolution. While retaining the signature harmony, Masse's reinterpretation turns the straight-ahead folk version sung by founding alto Cara Luft on the 2003 EP into a soulful masterpiece.It had been a long three-year wait since the Jennys' last album. But good things can be worth waiting for. Listening to Live at the Mauch Chunk is almost as good as being at a Wailin' Jennys concert, and that's very good indeed. The live album includes 14 songs and 4 spoken introductions. It received positive reviews, with The Wailin Jennys frequently performing music from it and their other albums on Prairie Home Companion and other such programs.".
