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

[@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

[@charlieoscar09]

This band needs a reunion

[@vonbogroff]

Rock on Emelda....Rockabilly is your thing...

[@joefaraci8575]

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

[@wecu2751]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@NickHewlettTHATCHIT]

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

[@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!

[@phillipsmejkal1]

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

[@rafailvilla1598]

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

[@ricardod4539]

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

[@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. ❤

[@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!!!!!

[@markhorton3041]

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

[@GZVidz]

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

[@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

[@squeakystool]

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

[@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.

[@raylicense4896]

When Imelda was worth listening to.

[@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!!!

[@MargarethaRydberg]

Great gal...never heard about her. Thanks for this share Louis.

[@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.

[@michaelwonnacott7824]

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

[@juzzlookin]

Brilliant...lost for words, had to watch it several times...amazing band as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@hotrodrace]

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

[@georgenolan247]

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

[@adriangstern]

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

[@459Vortex]

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

[@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

[@robertocarmusic]

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

[@johnanderson9943]

First saw her on Jools Holland,a fan ever since.Dig it baby.

[@rockabillyron]

I miss this Imelda :(

[@Sarazeff]

WOW !!!!!!! Can we have more and more and more of this fantastic sound the whole band pumps out of every thing they put into their music :)))

[@mikehuffman5460]

love her voice and the rhythm tricks she does

[@vandirgrachekidossantos3788]

Fortunately, we have good singers and good music.

[@kld5617]

Absolutely love this version I'd never heard of Imelda before but after googling her she is incredibly sweet stunning has a beautiful voice and is backed up by some crackin musicians who know there craft so if you ever get lonely Imelda here I am lol😀😀

[@paititi]

Great example of the perfect cover: keep the dynamism and feel of the original, but honor it by being inspired to add even a little something more to it--and having the style and ability to do so.

[@spacequeen8329]

You mean cover bands don't have to crank out tired, flat versions of overplayed hits punctuated with cheap lounge act variations that mess up the rhythm?

[@paititi]

@@spacequeen8329, yeah, as I said...

[@manolomontero]

Buena interpretacion, felicita a tus productores, ....voz genial, eres unica,un abrazo.¡¡¡

[@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!

[@eagleclaw2525]

This burns! Great take on a rockabilly classic

[@carloscamerano8327]

Te amo Imelda ,sos una genia , cuanto brillo en tus melodias y que hermosa voz , sos única , saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina

[@brunobonora691]

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

[@chopsddy3]

Big thumbs up. Rocks.

[@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'...

[@davidhope2506]

Why isn't this on BBC Primetime??? It's really excellent stuff. Great band. Great singer.

[@vladglazounov763]

Absolutely unbelievable awesome singer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love her!!!!!!

[@DannyGatton94]

brilliant version, she just nailed it

[@montemichelbleu]

Johnny Burnette ( & The Rock and Roll Trio) brought me here. Fabulous musicianship ...and a faithful and respectful adaptation - they really mean it! Thank you for keeping rock and roll alive.

[@acrap56]

Great version of a classic tune!

[@ebrucan7161]

I love The Rock n' Roll Trio!

[@jimblake9474]

Imelda May-Is a gift to music. She is Amazing!!

[@ProudRockabillyRebel]

Bloody great version!

[@mbrand19971]

Love that rendition of that Tiny Bradshaw number well done Imelda May.

[@tmvs580]

I like very nice this is the first time for me ihave not seen or heard of her before but I really like her

[@richardl2767]

Damn, she's gotta voice!

[@felineth56]

terrific cover! Love it!

[@dogshowish]

One my favourite songs rock &roll

[@stevencampbell8465]

Extremely versatile and talented- the real deal for sure

[@gunterharz8753]

her voice is just phenomenal

[@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

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Dong it up as only an Irish girl can! What a voice, and she's gorgeous on top of that. Seeing her smiling and hearing her delighted laugh at the end of this really makes this worth watching as well as experiencing that wonderful voice!

[@jx14aby]

What a great song!!!!

[@ciankennedy3324]

fantastic cover song!!!!

[@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.

[@pljms]

That's one great band she's got there.

[@eugeneendres5846]

Yes, you're right. She's wonderful - but so is that band.

[@Alex_19XC]

Every single person in that band is incredibly talented... something that really shows when you hear them play live. Blows you away

[@JohnnyTheMechanic]

Glad to see this comment ... the band is indeed amazing !

[@anthonyrichter1456]

That is an entire room full of talent.

[@user-gx9pk5cy6s]

Мимика её, манера её исполнения...❤❤❤ничего подобного не видел 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤Александр Волгоград.

[@siypic]

[@HanoiHustler]

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

[@HanoiHustler]

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

[@berthainesguerrabriones2956]

One day i love rockabilly and the next not, that resume imelda may

[@paulwhiting1648]

Totally agree deserted Rockabilly She uses whatever music brings her most money and fame If your a true Rockabilly you never change your music Todays non Rockabillies dont understand loyalty to the best music ever produced The men are just getting off on how she looks (used to look) and dresses (used to dress) because all Rockabilly women look hot and sexy whereas todays women think that showing everything is sexy ITS DEFINATELY NOT

[@APHansen1000]

She is so cool - love her!

[@katmayful]

This is pure talent.. what a great band.. Best ever.. Love her songs- please come up to Newcastle upon Tyne

[@acotrel1]
