Aoife O'Donavan is awesome!

[@gsco82]

That's quite a testament to the vocal talents of Aoife to sing a Berlioz folk song, then switch to Big Mama Thornton and make both of them sound great.

[@crichta]

Thought the same thing. She is an undeniable talent.

[@MikeHoopes]

Such range! Always loved Villanelle, ever since that Von Otter/Levine Les nuits d’été recording from 25 yrs ago. Nice job!

[@eecornetta]

That was soooo awesome ! ! ! Very clear now that the huge outcry on live YT chat about the glitching & missing was not even close to enough! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for the link LFH folks

[@10schicks]

that Berlioz piece is insane

[@annala2956]

I love Job Brion, mainly because of collaboration with Fiona Apple. This song was great! I loved all of the b-day tributes!

[@sadiqmohamed681]

I was also born on 11 Dec, so this is a nice birthday present. I love the contrast between the Berlioz & Big Mama! Well done Aoife.

[@Joey_Headset]

Amazing Jon Brion cover.

[@golfinglibrarian]

Man, that right hand technique!!!

[@joefiala6393]

Nice BGV's -- Brittany Haas @brittfiddle

[@jakescheirer3022]

It's hard to be sure, but it's easy to assume there's an 'ooh' in there~

[@charleskroeger5735]

Brittany Hass you are sublime

[@jjj1951]

While I like Chris's mandolin playing; l'm not quite on board with it as a blues instrument.

[@manitou1954]

The blues ain't about an instrument it's about an attitude.

[@millyabrahams4977]

Man, there was nothing wrong with that mandolin in that song.
