The recording sessions for McKay’s debut album Get Away from Me took place in August 2003 with Geoff Emerick as producer. Emerick was known for working as the Beatles’ engineer on such albums as Revolver and Abbey Road. The title is a play on Norah Jones’ Come Away with Me.
McKay “is a proud member of PETA” (album notes); her song “Columbia Is Bleeding” dealt with the issue of Columbia University’s cruelty to animals. She wrote a 2004 song (“John John”) about her feelings in favor of political candidate Ralph Nader over Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.
