Brian Howe at Pitchfork compares Meloy’s new release to the previously released Sings albums (where he covered Morrissey and Shirley Collins): ”His Sings albums sound more like a fan’s love letters to his idols than a meeting of titans on a level playing field. Sings Live! is a little different, because it’s unseemly to write love letters to one’s self, and Meloy handles the material with a blend of irony and self-effacement that becomes its own kind of very modern charm.”

On this release, you’ll hear the live versions of “Bandit Queen,” Wonder,” “Here I Dreamt I was an Architect,” and “The Engine Driver” among others.
