Alice Smith, The House of the Rising Sun, Damrosch Park, NYC 7-27-16

[@DanieleBrunengo]

In a fair world, she'd be one of the most famous singers on the planet.

[@FyahAlex]

A unique artist. She's like the anti-performer. It's so hard to describe. There's a certain casual and quirkiness about her that is so dope and real. Absolutely LOVE her!!

[@vcharrison63]

"The Anti-Performer"...The best description of her that I've heard. You cannot really classify her.

[@leviataen]

she does not do music for entertainment, it is her art, her inner language.

[@Gary_Jaffe]

very well said - i've loved her since i heard the first album in 2006 - when friends have asked me about her i say, "the voice is singular, powerful and she never hesitates to swim in the deeper, darker waters of emotion ... and she's not show-bizzy at all ... this is art"

[@khalidtrevor9449]

instaBlaster...

[@FoursWithin]

Disagree. She's actually a master performer with a particular personal style. An Anti performer would be closer to some early punk rock singers who just turned their back to the audience.

[@agreaves]

the privilege of being able to hear this voice this channel this woman ... it is almost unbearable

[@debiwilliams1588]

Alice Smith has been here before. She makes all of her songs cry with emotion. Continue.

[@michaelbrown5735]

This concert she put on here on this date was by far her best performances! Fierce singing!

[@LUX_8]

I thought it would be impossible to top Kimberly Nicole's version, but this was chills-inducing. Alice Smith was definitely channeling the ancestor's spirits with this one.

[@Honey-vz1qq]

No, no, no... Nina Simone got this.

[@grabitup]

Alice Smith ALWAYS succeeds in making people feel her Vibes!! Do it Alice!! Get it! You're the BOSS!! My all-time favorite female vocalist here in the States ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ !!

[@marleyjake]

There's no better version than this. Three among many outstanding things about her are her purity of tone, purity of expression and the sublime fact that there's just no fakery about her whatsoever - which can be seen when she's just standing there doing nothing.

[@CinnCity78]

So damn underrated till it's a shame!

[@MrSteith]

I can never figure out why, either.

[@richardgay17]

too many rihanna and other figures..imagine that a lady such as cassandra wilson get troubles to find a show... a pity

[@FyahAlex]

Digustingly good.

[@eyvettedh]

Straight up pure and golden!

[@keithonmarcus3091]

Yaaaaaaasssss! I said Yaaaaasssssssss! My soul said YAAAAAASSSSSSSSS!

[@MrTripLBee]

She's basically a goddess.

[@roxieAr]

Que cantante tan Fabulosa!

[@moonmagic4782]

I felt this... Chills and all. That's when it's real, baby. REAL good.

[@Aaron-sg8br]

My Lord, I can't believe I haven't heard this until now!

[@incognitondc]

Good. God. Almighty.......!

[@Gri0t]

Take it to the Juke Joint!

[@carolbellizzi9937]

She can make me like this song

[@terrie1076]

Beautiful. I hear a little of Nancy Wilson in her voice

[@sallyshaw6507]

Soul Baby!

[@Sideral_Synapse]

oh waow.

[@ShesFromVenus]

she is a wonder 🖤✨

[@aklavina]

Sing it, Girl!

[@leviataen]

her mimique is so important, it tells, just as the song, long stories of lonesomeness, pain and redemption.

[@vimme]

Oh yeah
