Laura Veirs is the debut album by Laura Veirs, released in 1999. Unlike her later albums, this features only Veirs and her guitar and is noticeably less produced than her later work, having been recorded live in three hours rather than given an extensive studio process.[1] This album is currently out of print, with only 1,000 copies pressed and Veirs later disavowing the music as bad.[2]
