That bass player plays with the kind of groove that can't be taught and can't be learned, you either got it or you don't. Their chemistry as musicians isn't reproducible either. So awesome
While well intentioned, your comment glosses over the THOUSANDS of hours of focused practice she's put in. It absolutely can be taught and learned. In fact, it's as much about listening as it is about playing.
@@rbrianharris While well-intentioned, your comment glosses over the fact that it's one of those "necessary but not sufficient" things. Millions of people could practice and study forever and still not have the chops to do what she does. Yep, talent. Yep, practice. Yep, intangibles. Nope, practice alone isn't enough. But it sure is necessary, and she has absolutely put in the time and effort!
Bridget Kearney is a great songwriter, too. These folks have years and years of practice, though, not just talent. Talent is overrated; ask Charlie Parker.
Amazing. Not my usual go-to, I'm old school rock, but Rachel and the gang are incredibly talented. I've been binge-listening to them since I discovered them. Every day. Thank you, Lake Street Dive.
My wife and I have attended 3 Natalie concerts over many years. She is amazing. Loved her with 10,000 Maniacs. She was a breakout star way back then. Her star will never fade.
This may be the most perfect single-mike-four-performer recording I have have ever heard. Each and every note/voice is perfectly articulated and understandable. I have bookmarked this and will come back again and again to experience a bordering-on-perfect performance from everyone involved - yes the musicians, but everyone else involved. High praise. And thank you.
If I could sign up to make that unbelievable lady happy every day for the rest of her life I would. No regrets . No second thoughts. She may be the eighth wonder of the world.
I agree, Jon. I've commented on several of their videos that they need to bring her up in the mix - you can't really hear her on much of their material. Not in this case - she's up there real nice, laying down that sheet of smooth ice for the stars to skate over the top of - sort of a human Zamboni.
When a solo trumpet player can carry the lead of an acoustic performance with spot-on dynamics, well that’s pretty remarkable. This and the cover of Take On Me just really highlight that dude’s talent.
The fullness of their sound is remarkable!! Tambourine, trumpet, stand up bass and vocals - it's subtle but it is a BIG sound! Each member has MAJOR chops and talent beyond belief....so glad to see that they have been receiving more attention lately.
I'm a late comer to the appreciation of Lake Street Dive but glad I finally wandered here, very glad. I cannot help but wonder about those who gave this a thumb's down and whether they've ever had any musical joy in their hearts made of cinder.....
They do so much with so little....such incredible talent by everyone! Kudos to XPN....miss listening to you guys when I used to live in S. Jersey in the 1990s.
All of them..Everyone here is individually phenomenal! I have to listen to every song 10 times to appreciate each artists contributions a song. Then altogether. Woa!
I've watched this video many, many times. It's pretty clear to me that music simply doesn't get better than this. And it isn't just about Rachel; every member of the band is simply outstanding and exceptional.
Does anyone else remember what a revelation it was when Annie Lennox showed a whole newly personal way to convey deep emotion in pop singing? I felt the same way when I discovered Rachael (years ago now).
Total band domination Vocals - Goddess Level BV's - assassins of soul Trumpet - So on point Tambourine - Exceptional display of percussive Nuanced mastery That fucking bass though ... O to the fucking MG
What a great voice Rachel possess. Ive been a huge fan of this talented band for 10 years easily. Annie Lennox would be proud of your rendition of Broken Glass. Way to go guys!
Bridget Kearney- she's one of the best bass players in the world right now. Go seek out their live version of Henriette from Pickathon - it's a couple years old but it gives you a sense of her ability. She also has a solo album she put out this year - with a very 80's pop vibe to it. It's a fun record!
Came to this by chance via Lola- love the whole arrangement, the trumpet is the icing on the cake, I can feel myself in a basement club, the air thick with smoke, sweat and the glow of gaslights.
Very talented group!!! Lead singer has a beautiful tone to her voice....harmonies rule!! lead guitarist and trumpet so versatile and great punctual notes ....Bass fiddle has a great touch!
The only "covers" that can outshine the originals. Sad (or happy) to say I'd rather hear LSD do it. Let me be real, not at all sad, I'm always happy to hear LSD's version.
I have been a huge fan of LSD since the first time I heard them. They are a breath of fresh air in the musical wasteland that has been created by the recording industry. I wish these talented young people the utmost of success.
LOVE IT! All of it ... Y'all have a style, groove, and freshness that i've not experienced before. Congrats! Very talented. Damn that Bass! keep it up, i need more for my new playlist
Just remember this is Annie Lennox she's covering. I know you meant that in the kindest most novel way possible but Annie is a far cry from a shampoo bottle (lyrically).
Wow! This cover--Yes, puhleeez! :) That vocal is superb---and upright bass---uh huh! But the whole thing swings! A friend turned me on to this---yeah--I gotta remember to thank him!
Thankful for Prairie Home Companion and all the wonderful performers to whom they open their stage. This piece is marvelous in a number of ways. 👍 Just don't know how to express my 💛 for this....
I'm a pretty old listener of music. Born in the 40s and still grooving on anything new and great out there. Well, this group is new to me AND great. Everyone, turn your friends on to them so they don't disappear as cover bands are prone to do. I cannot say enough about their sound and musical abilities, so let me close by saying the lead singer is simply lovely and as talented as you will ever hear. Im in Atlanta so please book a small venue near me and I will be sitting right up front!
