Jenny Lewis: "It Wasn't Me"

Jenny ended her set with a lengthy, walk-off version of "Born Secular," which culminated in an explosive true drum solo -- the drummer was the only person left onstage. Her encore began a few minutes later when she came back out by herself to play a solo version of "It Wasn't Me," effectively the closer of Rabbit Fur Coat. I assumed that would be it, but instead she played a few more that really got the revivalist revue flavor up. The Watson Twins came back out for an a cappella rendition of Laura Nyro's "I Met Him on a Sunday" and they closed with a rollicking, quasi-pentecostal take on the Grateful Dead's "Cold Jordan." I wouldn't have expected to love a secular gospel record this year, but goddamn if Jenny Lewis hasn't made it happen.
