Imelda May sings the rockabilly classic 'Train Kept A Rollin' for The Sunday Sessions on BBC London!

[@charlieoscar09]

This band needs a reunion

[@tomthefunky]

Memphis lives in that little Irish ball of fire. She is extraordinary.

[@paulwhiting1648]

Deserted the Rockabilly scene for fame and money. Funny havent seen her TV since then

[@rafailvilla1598]

I love you Imelda May Rockabilly rules.....

[@DaveMcKay0960]

Wow, that drummer is top notch.

[@joefaraci8575]

Excellent version of this classic song. Done perfectly! If you don't like this, I don't think there's hope for you!

[@michaelk5507]

This is... nostalgia, in a glorious way. Now, pop music for young people is mils away from this music, which is from sevnty years ago. Today most of the popular music is not recorded in mono, but is put together in a computer using over 64 different tracks. Times sure have changed, and arguably not for the better. It's refreshing to see real people, musicians, playing real instruments live.

[@wecu2751]

I am almost speechless! An Incredibly Wonderful Lady Singer and a Good band and a Really Wonderful version. 10 points!!!😉👍

[@flacodevworks]

There's not roots in Blues. Blues are the roots man. Peace

[@Guardducks]

2 things i love about her are, one her accent and that little growl she has when she sings. 🤘🏼

[@barrycowan3540]

I'll add to the above her talent, her passion and her joy. She puts so much of her personality into her performances.

[@Leonid-rr6gc]

А мне ВСЕ в НЕЙ нравится! И ОНА- САМА, тоже очень нравится!

[@harrikov]

WOW and here in Finland we now good Rockabilly. 10 points

[@RobertDougherty-sd7bv]

The accent is wonderful!

[@twistedsis100]

soo true hes really underrated hes deffo the best rockabilly guitarist in the UK

[@NickHewlettTHATCHIT]

Brilliant Music and Performance 🙏🎶😍 Well Done, You All... 🎵🤗🙏🤺

[@patrickmullen7756]

I just recently found Imelda and she is beautiful and exceptional me. Rockabilly is a rare style in this day and age. She has the timing and the fire and the heart. Bellas artes!

[@markhorton3041]

What a great band!!! This is where modern day music needs to be.

[@sefkicken914]

Very impressive, exciting performance of this Rockabilly classic of Johnny Burnette! She sings it with much power and feeling, this is how true Rockabilly should sound!

[@ebrucan7161]

I love The Rock n' Roll Trio!

[@grassfuse]

Wonderful Comet of a girl,so talented and full of life.this is REAL talent,If she doesn't become a huge star,there simply is no justice!

[@1955RodHot]

She already is a huge star in the rockabilly world. She's the headliner at Viva Las Vegas this year- the single biggest and most prestigious rockabilly event in the world. She's got millions of fans and she'll soon have millions more. Pay no attention to main stream media.

[@eugeneendres5846]

1955RodHot Glad to hear this. I've been listening to this women's rockabilly music all week long. She is incredible !!!

[@johnellis572]

she doesn't need to be a huge star, I love her too the singer and the girl behind the glitz. Great artists are always on the peripheral of public sight. Shane MacGowan is massive in certain circles, he's a hero of mine for his song writing abilities but ask most people in this country and they won't know who he is. I know its a different genre of music, Imelda reminds me of a torchsinger there was an album she made when she sang End Of The World and it really touches me when I have to say goodbye to someone. I like her jerky numbers Johnny Got A Boom Boom that she wrote for John Lee Hooker. She fuses modern styles with rockabilly she'll go far no matter what anyone says

[@peterkeane7767]

John Ellis As long as she keeps on doing what she does the way only she does, I will just be delighted! Every time is like a Firework display for the ears!

[@johnellis572]

Unfortunately her next album is not rockabilly, or infused with that same energy. Its a lot more sombre. If you like Lilac Wine you may like that. I've not heard it entirely there are a couple of the new songs on spotify I think. But an artist has to grow and I think shes marvelous

[@tunahelpa5433]

I love how she recognizes the original artist! Sounds like my fifties rockers!

[@FortyNineHudson]

Except she didn’t. Johnny Burnette was covering Tiny Bradshaw.

[@raylicense4896]

When Imelda was worth listening to.

[@johngoodman9380]

I believe your comment is accurate. Saw her with Jeff Beck many years ago, she was great. Watched the Jeff Beck tribute show she was on recently, it was like she had lost her edge.

[@berniurich6735]

Einfach Wahnsinn! Sehr impulsiv! Das ist Rockebilly

[@dogshowish]

One my favourite songs rock &roll

[@phillipsmejkal1]

damn how can such a sweet voice be so rough and powerful??? This is more than impressive.

[@GZVidz]

Imelda May is my favorite singer, she is absolutely brilliant!!!

[@MsMacy19]

Imelda, you're a diamond.

[@richardl2767]

Damn, she's gotta voice!

[@ClintLaeger]

Love Imelda 😍

[@framboiseborricand261]

I am really blasted amaszed She has a stunning voice and a great energy. Fantastic cover. All good musicians surronding her and a special mention for the drummer ! bravoo

[@The170460]

unfortunately it's now finish.

[@Happyfsscist33]

That lead guitar is just plain sick.🎸❤️‍🩹✅

[@theretiringbarber]

Excellent

[@metafis]

Everything tottally live, thank god for real music.

[@sydgerald]

I had the honour to see her live this year at Hyde Park, I was about 10 meters from stage, raining as pretty much always does in London. But that was one of the best evenings I've ever had.

[@retrorocksnambour8456]

so good - so sorry she's not doing rockabilly anymore :(

[@thegame6141]

😢☹

[@siypic]

is what I was thinking......... mistake really

[@1221chaz]

Her rockabilly is the BEST!!

[@Happyfsscist33]

The funny part is the lead guitar is the best part of this song just sick chops.🎉😂

[@Happyfsscist33]

I mean really it's the band over all that made her,, so sad when broke up.😢

[@danhold1]

Well done

[@arkay49er]

Thanks for the private comment from "King...". My research online turned up the same information. FWIW, it was my good fortune to see the Yardbirds 'back in the day' at a small liberal arts school in Ohio. At the time they were relatively unknown in that area. As I recall only about 100 people (or so) showed up to see them! Hard to picture now.

[@ricardod4539]

She has an extraordinary voice and great style. it's pure rockabilly

[@Thecarroom]

The lady ROCKS. Just became a big fan.

[@brunobonora691]

che ritmo e che talento ...un bacio dalla Romagna! ITALIA

[@stevencampbell8465]

Extremely versatile and talented- the real deal for sure

[@royal5th]

This song is an old jump blues tune. It was written and performed by Tiny Bradshaw. It was covered by Johnny Burnette several years later.

[@robertocarmusic]

I loved it, great rock and roll singer and well accompanied.

[@squeakystool]

You nailed that tune, nice to see rockabilly is in good hands.

[@leaparecido2238]

Rockabilly nervoso !!

[@alfredditfreddywilmes6242]

génial pour encore longtemps avec des artiste comme Imelda.....

[@rockabillyron]

I miss this Imelda :(

[@crimsontyger8576]

Wow...this is what her voice was meant for. You can see the groove on the musicians' faces and what it means to them to be driven by a singer like that. I feel the need to say it again...WOW!!!!!

[@crimsontyger8576]

Back for another listen. What a drummer! Why couldn't I ever find one like that?

[@tomrucco6490]

Don't give up keep looking

[@joeblack8915]

Nothing special. Darrel Higham on guitar is the real standout - a solo artist in his own right.

[@crimsontyger8576]

@@joeblack8915 Yes, I know that, having been a successful session player myself for many years. The drummer also impressed me, that's all.

[@rylaneirl]

PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE...Never split up .The tightest band I have ever heard !!! words fail me !!!!!!

[@siypic]

They have sadly....was upset about it............ and what she does now is pretty non descript....

[@lorenzodelafuente1774]

Great version

[@michaelodell138]

Just love this. "Johnny Got a Boom-Boom" live is killer also. I see there are a FEW dislikes. I'd like to talk to these people just to find out why they don't like it. It just boggles my mind that there's anyone who wouldn't be knocked out by this. ❤

[@michaelwonnacott7824]

Imelda brings back beauitful memories of youth, keep on rocking. Love all your music

[@459Vortex]

Awesome! That little laugh at the end is killer. Love it!

[@petermarsh9885]

brilliant piece of music tas australia

[@gjamtimmermans]

this is a great song !! please, go ahead !! thank you very much !! with kindest regards, gerald carpenter.

[@APHansen1000]

She is terrific. I love her!! and aye du luv oirish gals.

[@markarrivi3818]

How can anybody not Love Imelda May She Is Great

[@surfinwax58]

The UK is such a wonderful keeper of the original rock and roll flame and young people like Imelda ensure it's going to keep burning brightly across the Pond for years to come, mate.

[@erikhansen3996]

I'm so agree....Imelda is awesome 💥🇳🇴

[@brianbuday8639]

Mark Arrivi spot on 👍😎🎶

[@tomrucco6490]

Direct straight to the point she is great!!!

[@DannyGatton94]

brilliant version, she just nailed it

[@maniacmarklewin52]

got the maniacs stamp of approval, great song -band and woman

[@billwashburn9845]

Imelda; always at her best. She rocks but who is playing lead guitar? So talented all of them. What a treat to watch then perform.

[@davidmeisner2250]

Darrel Higham on lead.

[@acrap56]

Great version of a classic tune!

[@3dfather]

I love her voice so much. Why cant we have more talented groups and singers like this instead of bubblegum bullshit for 13 year old girls on the radio. Parents need to expose their kids to this music to prevent brain rot.

[@VintageSG]

My little girl is mad on Imelda, Wilko, The Blockheads and Dr.Feelgood. Hi-Fi 1, music TV 0, job done.

[@g8ymw]

VintageSG Humanity is not doomed! Well done young man!

[@stevehughes7896]

some of us have

[@joehanson8220]

Very 50ish swing to it, love it

[@eddiejohn7744]

"bubblegum bullshit for 13 year old girls " , one of the best descriptions of the inane , lamentable , snot ridden , weepy , squealing shite dished up today . I rest my case

[@vandirgrachekidossantos3788]

Fortunately, we have good singers and good music.

[@gsully125]

outstanding....rock on people.....universal

[@SteveZaffarano]

That's good!!!

[@Wacokid48]

Only heard this by Yardbirds and assumed it was a blues song? But hey..it's a crankin ' over the top rockabilly..Yeah ! The guitar player here is stellar !!

[@joeblack8915]

He is. Darrel Higham, who was/is a solo artist, with many album releases before and after Imelda May (his ex-wife).

[@romeulins1397]

I love this girl and the band too

[@mikehuffman5460]

love her voice and the rhythm tricks she does

[@eagleclaw2525]

This burns! Great take on a rockabilly classic

[@JuanBetto.]

Delightful Voice

[@adriangstern]

she's just amazing! just glad she surfaced at last so we can enjoy her music!

[@kippeake]

luv this tune

[@khjglkf]

ready to listen 24/7

[@mimibetinis]

Holy Shit!!!! Tooo! She is too much!! What a smokin' track.

[@piestingtalerschatzsucher1966]

WOW COOL Rockabilly

[@bowtie23t]

SHE IS AWESOME

[@andylusti9451]

Super Stimme, tolle Ausstrahlung - da können heutige Sängerinnen kaum mithalten. Dazu die super Musiker - einfach stark!

[@Veronicauribe1980]

she rocksssssssssss!!!!!

[@thomasberry2198]

God, she is sooooooooo good!!!!!

[@debtbully3]

That lick was so sick!

[@Wekman2]

Watched Wild Target this morning and heard her for the first time. Great sound, great voice, she is absolutly beautiful, and the band rocks. I have been listening to every song i can find on the internet. I am hooked and can't wait to get her CD's

[@ciankennedy3324]

fantastic cover song!!!!

[@gojiraotep]

imelda may, she a great voice

[@oberoihotelsfivestars5703]

gojiraotep, My idea, you never ear or see Miss Rock-a-billy WANDA JACKSON, on Stage. She the real voice, modern voice like imelda is easy to do a cover.

[@musiclover9361]

@apoxisprod The guitarist is Darryl Higham, her husband.

[@alanireland5222]

Awesome

[@bluesharp59]

This song made me pull out my dusty old Harmonic again, Wow you all are great. Happy New Years 2020. Thumbs Up Liked !

[@georgenolan247]

Brillant ! This girl is a bright light in a tunnel of todays mediocre music

[@hotrodrace]

Superb guitarist.....Was great back in the Enforcers days & has always been a true professional in everything he has done!

[@Carvmann]

shes awesome

[@BDFAN65]

Excellent!!!

[@robertsinnett2126]

amazing...

[@dennismault196]

She's rocking it !!!!!!!

[@jeanmariebasset2544]

La voix et le rythme des années 50;fabuleux

[@donb3557]

She could sing the ingredients off a packet of crisps and make it sound emotional and full of life, there is no doubt in my mind that with the right management and media exposure she could become a superstar, many of us who appreciate her already believe she is a superstar, definitely one of Ireland's finest!

[@JODIMAR45]

You are right but unfortunately Rockabilly/Rock n Roll music and artistes like Emelda these days are considered 'Novelty'...

[@acquiesce022]

Chick's got one hell of a set of pipes!!! And she's a joy to watch.... Oh, BTW, LOVE her shirt, good taste! Thank you for posting!

[@TheDagdean]

yeah , nice n rockin well done

[@adilsonpereira1968]
