Macy Gray – Live in Las Vegas (DVD)

Posted by admin in Musicals/Performing ArtsFeb 25th, 2009 | no responses Macy Gray`s unique, sandpapery voice--something of a cross between Erykah Badu and Eartha Kitt--and her mixing of vintage soul values with a more contemporary sound, earned her a 2001 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (for the song

I Try ). LIVE IN LAS VEGAS captures Gray performing three years later, on November 18, 2004 at the Vegas venue House of Blues. In the course of her 17-song set, Gray performs early favorites like

I Try,

and

Sweet Baby

alongside more recent efforts such as

Things That Made Me Change.

Updating old-school R&B with a few modern touches, Gray`s sound is part hip-hop, and part rock. While belting out material from across her first two albums, Gray matches her vivacious sound with an equally eccentric and colorful style, personality, and lyrical sensibility.
