Rock & Pop I'd rather be Blind

[Jamesmac]

I thought the Etta James was the definitive ver. Until I happened to come across this.

Isn't she just fantastic, can do the Janis J. Bit, but the quiet bits are much much better.
Jeanette. I hope you didn't use up too many tissues, real emotion, with the voice and the guitar.

I didn't cry but it is one that I could given the right mood late at night it has so much emotion in it. In fact I'm going to order the CD

I like this one too

She's good but sorry it's Etta for me

Well nothing wrong with the Etta ver. But for me I believe this girl more. For me she really feels the lyrics. More emotion in her voice. Also the more modern production and that insane guitar solo. If anybody wanted to learn how to build a solo. Just listen to him.

Great voice, loved this thanks. I see she's also recorded it with Jeff Beck, who I personally prefer on guitar. She has a great website so thanks for introducing me to her.

Yup the 2 Hart/Bonamassa cds are v. good.

Been listening to Beth Hart and saying to myself she reminds me of someone ?
I'm wondering if our own Rebecca has modelled herself on Ms Hart ?

Both have that distinct vibrato in their voice.
Difference being Blues and Soul

Anyhow this is the best version to watch

I have been listening to this pair for a while now and absolutely adore the combination of his moody guitar style and her gruff and sexy vocals. I could listen to them for days! (Although this isn't one of my favourite tracks of theirs)

This is my favourite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwqkzsv5Mac
