Like her previous album Revelling/Reckoning, this tidy little package is really two records in one. Disc One, subtitled “Stray Cats,” is what Ani calls “a feral collection of set list standards and a few anomalies,” by which she means (among other things) versions of songs you won’t hear this way anywhere else. Disc Two, “Girls Singing Night,” is structured more like one of the shows from her last tours with the band, from walk-on music all the way to the encore, even though the individual tracks come from all over the place.
