Courtney Barnett - MTV Unplugged

MTV Unplugged is the first live album by Australian singer songwriter Courtney Barnett, originally released in December 2019 via Milk! Records.

On 22 October 2019, Courtney Barnett performed a unique and special show in her hometown at the invitation of MTV. The setlist featured Barnett as you’ve never heard her before - stripped back, vulnerable and emotional.

Collaborating with legendary songwriter Paul Kelly, angelically-voiced New Zealander Marlon Williams and Milk! Records label-mate Evelyn Ida Morris, the performances included covers of Leonard Cohen, Archie Roach, Seeker Lover Keeper, as well as a never-before-heard original track from Barnett herself titled “Play It On Repeat”.

The following musicians formed the core backing band for this live performance:

• Courtney Barnett - guitar & vocals
• Dave Mudie - drums & backing vocals
• Bones Sloane - bass & backing vocals
• Lucy Waldron - cello & backing vocals

The album was recorded live at the Howler (Brunswick, Melbourne) on Tuesday 22nd October 2019.

This album is a limited edition on aqua blue coloured vinyl with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Canada via Milk! Records.
