With the aid of Emerick's golden ears, she covers songs from the era of political turmoil and creative delight by Zappa, Ray Davies, Steve Miller, Country Joe McDonald, and then some. She'll be appearing at the Tribeca Barnes & Noble in New York City tomorrow at 6pm for a performance and signing. CD's purchased at Barnes & Noble include two exclusive bonus tracks--"If I Needed Someone" and "Yellow Submarine." In addition, Prairie Home Companion will stream the full album on their website from March 25-April 1(st).

A recipient of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Humanitarian Award in recognition of her dedication to animal rights, Nellie is an annoyingly vocal advocate for feminism, civil rights and other deeply felt progressive ideals. She is currently part of the campaign to get horse-drawn carriages off the streets of New York City.
