When I was a teenager, Suzanne Vega blazed the trail for the re-emergence of singer/songwriters in the mid-to-late 1980s, which included Tracy Chapman, Tanita Tikaram and Shawn Colvin. Vega’s first two records are classics of that genre, and her decision to revisit and re-present her catalogue in an acoustic setting allows us to fully appreciate her voice and lyrics.

This is an ongoing project, so don’t be alarmed if you favourites aren’t here. Even songs you might not recognise are impressive in this intimate context.
