Hey That's... has this annoying high pitched effect on Tara's voice, and it's wholly unnecessary, but I can understand why it's there. Sometimes as an artist you try something out. I don't know if Tara liked how this turned out, or if it was a "let's throw it on there," but man do I wish that high pitched crap wasn't there. Her voice is lovely on its own, and of course she has this incredible talent at creating landscapes of atmospheric sound. Tracks 1, 2, and 3 attest to that wonderfully. The repeats from her albums - Blue Light Room, Sunday Song, A Partridge Song - they're quite at home here with these live renditions. Blue Light Room in particular for me. The absolute standout for me is Bitterness Lake. That track came out of nowhere when I first listened to this. Floored me, what is potentially just Tara noodling guitar on a lazy, gloomy, Sunday afternoon, has become one of my favorite songs ever.
