The sun was high when musician arrived at Anderson Park on the campus of the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado. While looking for a shady place to capture this Field Recording, we trekked down a steep rocky trail, all the way to the edge of the nearby Roaring Fork River, only to find it too tight for our crew and musical guest. And because the river was indeed roaring, we headed back to the top of the hill to record this intimate set.
Son Little had never performed a concert in a field before, but he was completely at ease on the hot hill, waiting patiently while we set up the cameras and microphones. He played a lovely four-song set that radiates vulnerability and affection, starting with 鈥渂end yr ear鈥 and 鈥渨hat鈥檚 good鈥 (both from his latest album, Like Neptune), and finished the set with two of his bigger hits, 鈥渕ad about you鈥 and 鈥渘eve give up.鈥
