Are you suggesting that Autotune isn't used live?

Sweet, but it lacks the depth and gravity of the original from Tom Waits. I also like the Blind Boys of Alabama version better than this. But I also like the diversity!

This isn't her best

Check out her other albums

She's an amazing talent

Interesting mandolin solo by Jarosz. Different from the other mando gods out there.

Love her voice...it transcends bad music choices and formats (I tend to eschew the twang)

Ya think so?

This song loses major points for mind-numbingly repetitive lyrics. {#Wall}

This has a nice country blues quality. It reminds me somewhat of Elizabeth Cotten and Mississippi John Hurt.

You can generally spot it when there are subtle but noticeable pitch shifts in the singer's voice. I just re-listened to this (google for the song and you'll get a Lala.com link) and couldn't spot any auto tune. I'm no expert though.

I find this song rather annoying and repetitive, but, like so often, after reading the comments, I see Sarah and her whole body of work-to-come in a different light

"Come down off the cross, we could use the wood" - great line {#Clap}
Posted 16 years ago by fredriley    [ Reply ]
Her two songs on RP, this Tom Waits cover and "Shankill Butchers" by The Decemberists, are the only cover songs on the album. Her original songs are more flavored with Americana and more to my liking. I think she will become a presence in the alt/traditional country world...lots of talent as a musician, vocalist, and songwriter.

3 -> 2. Based purely on the excessive repetition. Too bad too, because I like her voice. I look forward to hearing something else from her though.

Good song, but isn't it a little too soon to cover it?  It seems too fresh to me.

She went to Wimberley High School with my son — they just graduated May 09.  you talk about a focused young woman.  What an accomplishment for a 17 year old....my son and his friends are just wondering where they can skateboard.

Tom Waits should be paying her to cover this.  It's great stuff.  That mandolin really puts it over the finish line.



Unfortunately, I too detected a whiff of auto tune in the vocals so I subtracted two points.  I vote we ban that piece of crap from anything not Britney Spears.
