Nice Try ’60s gives her the opportunity not only to show off her voice, but also her remarkable skills on piano, ukulele, harmonica, organ and tambourine.

” “Compared to What” featured a driving drum solo by Kenneth Salters. McKay displayed a touching soft side with The Beatles’ “If I Fell.” The finale, a rousing “Murder in My Heart for the Judge,” was followed by a two-song encore of her own compositions— “Inner Peace” and “Hungry Freaks, Daddy”—that ended with a 1960s-type light show showing off her backup group The Cosmic Rays.
