Radiohead – Creep
An evening pause: Seems to me that these guys could be Mrs. Hughes’ son from the comedy routine posted in yesterday’s evening pause.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Dale Watson – South Of Round Rock Texas
An evening pause: Hat tip Robert Pratt, of the radio show Pratt on Texas, who offers it “to balance the ‘jazzy.'”
Anneke van Giersbergen & Danny Cavanagh – The Blower’s Daughter
Sam Smith – Burning
Above & Beyond Acoustic – On A Good Day
Aimee Echo & Teddybears – Punk Rocker
Willie Nelson & Kenny Rogers – Blue Skies
Andrea Motis & l’Orquestra Simfònica – Solitude

Katie Mullins – A Disney Love Song Medley (on the ukulele)
An evening pause: In order, “Kiss the Girl” (The Little Mermaid), “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” (The Lion King), “A Whole New World” (Aladdin), “I See the Light” (Tangled), and “You’ll Be in My Heart” (Tarzan), and then finishing with a reprise of “A Whole New World.” All good songs, but to my ear, it is very clear that “A Whole New World” stands out.
And the singer is really joyous.

Greys – Needle in the Camel’s Eye
Etta James – Something’s Got A Hold On Me
An evening pause: Performed live on television sometime in the mid-1960s.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who notes, “Etta James was an inspiration to a generation of popular female singers, from Janice Joplin to Christina Aguilera.”
The Wilson Sisters – The Battle of Evermore
Elvis Presley – C.C Rider
10 Songs You’ve Heard and Don’t Know the Name
Frederica von Stade – Song to the Moon
4 Non Blondes – What’s Up
Benjamin Costello – In My Daughter’s Eyes
An evening pause: Beautiful cover of the James Slater song made a hit by Martina McBride.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Jimi Hendrix On An Acoustic Guitar
An evening pause: There are two clips, with the second beginning at 4:37. This is I think more interesting than good. The first clip is well shot, but it clearly is an unfinished music video because Hendrix himself I think was unsatisfied with his performance. The second is better performed, as it is a improvised performance at what appears to be a party. Regardless, they are worth watching because even when he played below par you can see he is playing at a level above most.
Hat tip Michael Nelson.
Renaissance – Mother Russia
It’s a Beautiful Day – White Bird
Wayne Henderson & Presley Barker – Black Mountain Rag
Madeleine Peyroux – The Kind You Can’t Afford
An evening pause: Performed live April 4, 2011. Makes a nice contrast with yesterday’s pause. Both unique, well played, and completely different.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Saint Motel – My Type
The Corrs – Runaway
Yes – Changes
Meaghan Smith & Stadacona Band – It’s Been a Long Long Time
The Danish National Symphony Orchestra – For A Few Dollars More
Juice Newton – Angel of the Morning
An evening pause: This was first a hit in 1968 for Merillee Rush & The Turnabouts. Juice Newton brought it back in 1981 and it was a hit again. Both versions are unique and worth listening to.

Fkj & Masego – Tadow
An evening pause: It is amazing how modern technology can allow artists like this the ability to create something so unique, so quickly, on the fly.
