Songs from the Road documents a November 2011 performance at the Savoy Theatre in Helsinki, Finland – the same venue in which Thomas Ruf discovered Lyytinen six years earlier. The concert focuses on material from her 2010 release Voracious Love while mixing in a smattering of cuts from previous studio albums. Included are outstanding originals like “Voracious Love” and the hard-driving “Everything’s Fine”, Blind Willie Johnson’s unforgettable “Soul of a Man”, a revamped “Crossroads” and Tony Joe White’s swamp classic “Steamy Windows”.
