Live at the Cafe Carpe

Live at the Cafe Carpe (or more completely Live at the Cafe Carpe: Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, December 2008 & 2009) is a live recording by Redbird (Jeffrey Foucault, Kris Delmhorst and Peter Mulvey), released in 2011.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, critic William Ruhlman wrote that of the album, "In putting together a repertoire to play to live audiences, the trio sometimes risks coming off as a novelty act, however, as they get laughs for "What Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)" and the group-written "Phonebooth of Love." Such numbers serve as light entertainment and changes of pace in a show, but don't work as well on repeated listenings of a disc. Still, the singers in Redbird have a workable concept for their group..."
