Speaking about the album in a statement, Early said: “I've been performing comedy and music with my long-suffering band The Lemon Squares for over 10 years, and I always assumed there was no way to capture the magic of our live concert. sample. But listening to this album takes me right back to that sweaty night in downtown Brooklyn, where I felt like I was a crazed preacher at a tent revival.”
Continuing, Early concluded: “I'm so excited for people to hear Vicky with a 'V' set that we had to cut from the HBO special due to time. And I'm really excited about our new versions of songs that I think are really good and stinky. “I would also like to permanently record that I did Madonna's rap in one take.” Check out the album art and track listing below.
