Monday's Pleasant Surprise

From 2015, please enjoy honey-voiced chanteuse Skylar Gudasz and the Wild Honey Orchestra with a really lovely live cover of my favorite sort of obscure underrated George Harrison song.

I must confess I had never heard of the young lady in question until one of my FB buds posted the clip (which derives from a Wild Honey autism benefit in LA) last weekend; an internet search hipped me to the fact that she's got three albums out and will be doing a few live gigs in the not so distant future (including another LA show with Wild Honey in April.)

You can find out more about her -- and listen to a lot of her own music, which seems to be sort of countrified Joni Mitchell -- over at her website HERE.

beautiful

i find i agree with the audience - that bit at the end - even though george did it - doesn't add anything in the context of a live performance in front of people who are not expecting it - sometimes the best surprise is no surprise

Nice voice. Looked her up. A more muted Neko Case, or..... not sure. Reminds of someone. A good find.

No need for auto tune for that Gal.
Thought she did a fine job with George's
song - a White Album Hi Light.
Regarding the ending - I was not off put.
iirc - George stretched it out - ohh,ohh😉
