It’s not often that Percy Hill shows get uploaded to the Live Music Archive, so we were excited to see that the latest installment of taper Scott Bernstein’s BARN series of recordings features a blistering 80-minute set from the New Hampshire natives. This nicely balanced matrix was recorded on June 8, 1996 at the legendary Wetlands Preserve in New York City. It’s a must download for Percy Hill fans and a nice introduction for those who want to sample the band’s Steely Dan meets Stevie Wonder sound.
