The Music in High Places series sets out to deposit a music industry luminary in a surprising place. But Alanis Morissette--Live in the Navajo Nation seems more like an inevitable next step in the eccentric singer's career, allowing her to feed off the Native Americans' historical plight and the location's acoustic unpredictability. Filmed in Arizona's Canyon de Chelly, this hour-long piece intercuts interview footage in between the songs, many of which are from her second album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. With lots of aerial swoops and well-framed images... of her standing on a cliff top, the crowd pleasers "That I Would Be Good" and "I Was Hoping" take on new visual significance. There is a little bit of talking over the top of the songs, but her pared-down accompaniment of one percussion and one guitar player still rise above the sound bites. The singer sums it all up in characteristic fashion: "Nature is a great audience". --Paul Tonks [show more]
