Surprised by the Women

Ever get delightfully surprised by the music? First I intro the topic over the always surprising bass playing of Victor Wooten (BP from the Flektones). Who is Gillian Welch? An explanation and an example of her most excellent standard stuff , then the surprise . . . I caught her live in Colorado playing a psychedelic anthem from the 60s. For the first time. And she and David Rawlings kicked its butt considering it is just 2 acoustic guitars and voice. Next act: Sometimes a surprise is how an incredible commitment to style by a singer transforms a song you thought you knew. Witness what Mary McCaslin does to a Motown top 40 tune. Hey . . . I am already at the 17 minute mark . . . Lets wrap this show! Please buy the full commercial versions of the music you hear on this little educational effort of mine.
