I ask you, is there anything or anyone more adorable than Eddi singing this song? Love this so much.

[@fredericksemple6366]

No.

[@bradinserra]

Such a great jam, with animated Eddi leading the charge! 🌟

[@MJ-dq8ik]

Two of my favorites - Boo Hewerdine AND the great Eddi Reader!!!

Anyone have Eddi doing "Footsteps Fall" from this session? Just simply wonderful! Thanks for the upload.

[@SmilingDaisies-hh7pi]

She so talentedand very underrated

[@georgemcelroy3058]

WOW!!! Another home run from Eddi. I just found you. I am so happy to have such awesome music in my life. I have been a fan of Jerry Douglas for many years; why It took me so long to find you is troubling. Thank you, Eddi!! George

[@merseydave1]

Eddi has a wonderful voice, she has a lot to thank Boo Hewerdine as he first wrote and released this (along with most of her solo chart topping hits) ... anyway this is a great "Folk up tempo" version and ... "It certainly is a toe tapper!"

[@reksub10]

awesome to hear all those strings in perfect harmoney ...baeutiful

[@EnosEverything]

[@MrIGGY62]

3 dislikes? how can you dislike this its great happy music

[@judeirwin2222]

Who knows. Might have something to do with the visual quality of the vid?

[@Colincqw]

Just watched this and it was beautiful. The spoons made me think of Con O Drisceoil "The Spoons Murder"

[@gokartmozart]

Thank you! Love it!

[@johannvons]

Must be deef. Eddi's the greatest thing to come out of Scotland since single malt.

[@sawabojo]

well im still into this like my comment about one year ago

[@walkingbear56]

@41hardy If you watch Boo he is playing the basic riff Capo 3rd D, G and C, G for the chorus... the other guy is playing the top riff capo 9 but its still the D root chord.

[@samblackcrow]

Eddi plays a mean air guitar! :)

[@daverogers1245]

She plays a mean guitar, guitar!!!!

[@veganvocalist4782]

;D Boooootiful

[@joangordoneieio]

sweeeeet !

[@LochMeikle]

Listen to Aye Waukin-O by Eddi. Essence!

[@mnemonyxx]

I'll look that up, LM. Apologies to anyone offended by this old comment - not sure what prompted it, especially as I remember much enjoying "Perfect" back in the early days.

[@dannyLnyc]

@Aviva2121 NOT British: Aly Bain is Scottish, for example. Jerry might play guitar, but I have never seen him do so in public.And the whole point of TRANSATLANTIC sessions is to mix styles from both sides of the pond. Without Aly Bain the show would not have ever existed.

[@mnemonyxx]

Uploaded on request. Maybe I'll learn to like Eddi.

[@daverogers1245]

How could you not like Eddie?

[@judeirwin2222]

She speaks very well of YOU!

[@mnemonyxx]

Barring YT problems, it'll be up within the hour.

[@kerryg100]

This is smoking hot...almost cajun

[@Mandolin1944]

Just great song and performance - should have mic'd the back up singers?

[@shilltz]

They did.....with an ambient mic.....thats why you can hear em !

[@Mandolin1944]

Andy Shillito OK then should have adequately micd them...

[@shilltz]

they did! you can hear em fine.

[@shilltz]

thats how your supposed to "ambient mic" a group. its because it was filmed i assume. therefore not too many mics available and they don't want them in shot in front of everyones face in these situations.

[@fionaclewlow]

What's not to like?

[@unturnthisstone]

@finnyq : But, for example, Jerry Douglas is the best slide guitarist/dobro player in the world. Without the Americans, the sound would be very different because who's his British equivalent? Surely the music comes first!

[@132scottie]

enailer like all bad tradesmen they blame ther tools for a bad job, your tool must be really bad

[@Canoe571]

Better to listen to than to watch. Homely women hopping around as though they were a treat to see has never appealed to me.
