“Thirteen years after ‘A Thousand Miles,’ Vanessa Carlton has refined her voice as a songwriter. Liberman is her fifth studio album, and it’s turning heads.” – Rolling Stone
“Liberman is excellent on its own. Carlton’s voice is the key attraction on songs that register between low-key pop, rock, and folk.” – Pitchfork
“Carlton’s reinvention finds her a long way from “A Thousand Miles” – and in a better place, artistically.” – The Boston Globe
“…she’s back, she’s dreamy, there’s some sort of arty thing going on here, she’s moved to Nashville, had a baby girl with Deer Tick’s John McCauley, and simply sounds better than ever.” –Yahoo

These two live releases work together to make a whole, and give fans a clear vantage point from which to see the musical evolution of Vanessa Carlton from where she was as a teenager to where she is today as an adult.
Fans were first given a taste of Carlton’s musical evolution when the studio version of Liberman was released in 2015 via Dine Alone/Caroline. The ten songs on the album reflected on Vanessa’s current state of mind since moving from NYC to Nashville, marrying husband John McCauley (Deer Tick) and having a baby girl. The simple instrumentation mixed with her wistful vocals and poignant lyrics brought you into her world and showcased a new side to this accomplished songwriter.
