Annie is the consummate artist, so much so, that in accord with the comments here her version of the Beatles is that distinct kind of homage, with her own shadings, that I appreciate though I am older and "dig" the original. That said, I give her credit for getting me interested in Nirvana's "Lithium" which she performed at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction of the group, with her obvious reverence for Kurt, whom I never really appreciated prior to hearing her impassioned rendition. Her virtuosity, vocally & on guitar is stunning; she has that special talent - grace.
