Father John Misty – Live at Third Man Records (Third Man Records)

In September 2017, Josh Tillman stopped by Third Man’s Nashville headquarters on an otherwise ordinary Tuesday afternoon. He surprised all with a lunchtime solo, acoustic set before his sold-out Ryman Auditorium performance. They had their 1955 Scully Lathe warmed at the ready to capture the occasion.

As is typical for direct-to-acetate recordings in the Blue Room, Josh warmed up the room (and their engineers) with two songs before they started cutting the LP.

He began with the debut performance of his newly penned “Mr. Tillman” (foreshadowing its release as the first single on God’s Favourite Customer 9 months later). We then used the second song as an opportunity to carve a 12” on-the-spot single of ‘Now I'm Learning to Love the War’, which was promptly handed to a lucky attendee for safekeeping. If you want to know more about that, you’ll have to scour the depths of FJM’s fan net.

Live at Third Man Records covers songs from all three Father John Misty albums out at the time of its recording, heard here stripped totally bare.
