Courtney Barnett and Wilco - Handshake Drugs - Solid Sound Festival 2019

Rounding out Karaoke Night at this year's Solid Sound Festival Wilco brought on "Courtney from Melbourne" to join them singing Handshake Drugs from their 2004 album A Ghost Is Born. She made it her own. One of the highlights of the whole festival.

I love this performance. Early on, Jeff and the band are looking on smiling and saying "this is great!" And the band craziness kicks in, and everyone goes crazy!

Her speak-sing works so well with this song. And even her slack harmonies with Jeff. Love this.

The best part was Courtney looking for effects for her guitar. Jeff was explaining the pedals -- when he said "and that one is fuzz," she was basically like "we're good to go then."

I was chewin' gum for something to do The blinds were being pulled down on the dew Inside, out of love, what a laugh I was looking for you Saxophones started blowing me down I was buried in sound Taxicabs were driving me around To the handshake drugs I bought downtown To the handshake drugs I bought downtown They were translated poorly, I felt like a clown I looked like someone I used to know I felt alright And if I ever was myself I wasn't that night Oh it's okay for you to say What you want from me I believe that's the only Way for me to be, exactly What you want me to be Oh it's okay for you to say What you want from me I believe that's the only Way for me to be Exactly what you want me to be Oh I was chewin' gum for something to do The blinds were being pulled down on the dew Inside, out of love, what a laugh I was looking for you Saxophones started blowin' me down I was buried in sound The taxicabs were driving me around To the handshake drugs I bought downtown To the handshake drugs I bought downtown Oh it's okay for you to say What you want from me I believe that's the only Way for me to be Exactly what do you want me to be? Exactly what do you want me to be? Felt like a clown They were translating poorly I looked like someone I used to know And if I ever was myself I wasn't that night Exactly what do you want me to be? Exactly what do you want me to be?
