One of the first emails I read upon returning home this weekend was about Grace Potter and The Nocturnals. Somehow, I'd never heard of Grace, so I clicked the link and waited to hear something new...
...and I've been listening to her over and over ever since, trying to figure out how a 22-year old girl from Vermont can make me sway back and forth like Ray Charles and convulse like Joe Cocker.
The video I posted yesterday afternoon is, hands down, the best piece of music I've heard since starting this site. Mixing blues and funk - let's call it blunk - into a fever pitch of perfection, the performance about made me fall out of my chair the first time I watched it.
Now I just have to hope that Charleston can get her here to play a show.
