This should maybe go in the blues section? I dunno. Who cares. It's a fantastic live rendition of a great song. This was her TV debut too.

KT Tunstall - Black Horse and a Cherry Tree (Jools Holland)

Been revisiting Gillian Welch albums tonight. This one's a beauty.

I've been on a Hank Thompson binge for a couple of weeks. There's a simultaneously charming and unsettling irony to a lot of his alcohol-era albums. The lyrics are consistently soul crushing but his delivery is usually beaming and energetic, it's like he's beaming ear to ear with tears streaming down his face.

Neko Case turned me onto country - 'Hold On' is one of my favourite songs.

Dolly Parton 's Jolene unexpectedly grabbed me. I put her here, despite her fame and familiarity, because I would never have believed I would listen to her. So she might be something 'new' to some people.

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
And ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice gentle like a summer rain

If I'm not mistaken that's poetry.

Lastly I must recommend Googoosh an Azeri/Persian singer. Persian music s a fascinating blend of Western and South Asian music - astonishingly passionate. The arrangements are also very good.

This is beautiful. I know Alison Krauss from her version of the Wexford Carol and was intrigued by this interesting combination.

This song exposes a little of the part-celtic roots of country music. A beautiful ballad with taught phrasing underlying the laid back feel of much of the song.
