"Can You Get To That"



"Far Celestial Shores"

Norah & Willie

Norah Jones and Willie Nelson performing a nice duet of "Wurlitzer Prize".

BB and Friends

John Mayer, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi all perform with BB King in this two part video.

Tedeschi sings Prine

Susan Tedeschi performs a beautiful version of John Prine's "Angel from Montgomery", followed by "Sugaree".  I think this could well be the first video that I have posted with a flute solo.

Travelin' Shoes

Vermettya Royster singing lead with the Clara Ward Singers - "Travelin' Shoes"

June Hymn

I have posted a version of this song before, but to mark the first day summer here is Colin Meloy, of the Decembrist, performing "June Hymn".

Kate Smith Evening Hour

Part of a two 1952 episodes of The Kate Smith Evening Hour featuring members of the Grand Ole Opry. Performing on the shows, in addition to Kate Smith, are Roy Acuff, Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters, Hank Williams, Sr., and others.  At least according to the info on YouTube, the second segment was Hank Williams' last television appearance.

This Train

You might call this hootenanny gospel—Old Crow Medicine Show, Mumford and Sons and Edward Sharpe perform "This Train". It is a good bit different from Sister Rosetta's version.
