An excellent cover of the Robert Cray tune.
I saw Ms Connor in concert one evening at the Night Shift Cafe on Rubber Avenue in Naugatuck, CT.
My friend and I got there early, so we were sipping our beers at our table. Then this lady started walking around the cafe, talking to the people. She was great to talk with. I thought she might be the owner of the cafe.
Then she walked up on the stage, picked up a guitar and started playing.
Wow, just friggin' wow.
Listen to the tune above, and you will get a sample of what I heard that evening.
It turned out to be an amazing concert.
