So beautiful....and spellbinding. I love it!
She did such a wonderful job on this song! I wouldn't mind hearing more like this from her. Very refreshing.
Few people can pull off this kind of song and rock out like she does.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Immediately after watching the show, I was thinking that this is the sort of thing Stevie needs to do to get back into the spotlight and to get inspired about music again- singing the songs of her grandfather's era. And she should record an entire album with Chris Isaak (and Silvertone?)- I love the way they sound together, and I love the sweet, simple, rootsy band arrangement. I mean, hello, look what this sort of project has done for Robert Plant (and Alison Kraus). And the Mark Knopfler-Emmylou Harris duet album was also a relative hit as well. There is something about Stevie's weepy/yearning vocal that renders these kinda cornball old tunes into something heartfelt and genuine yet, I would even dare say, contemporary.
