Jonatha Brooke - "Keep The River On Your Right"

[Dedeurklink]

so underrated, so good

[liketolikeandcoments]

love this song

[gemmalacey]

How do I find out about the tunings she uses..? Love this lady

[redshift96]

@gemma: Fairly certain that this song uses the same tuning as "Because I Told You So" which, according to this page from Jonatha's website (/music/odds-and-ends/) , uses an open E-flat tuning: (Low to Hi) Eflat G Bflat F Bflat Eflat . And as you can see from this vid and one other on YT, she uses a capo at the fifth fret. Oh, and thanks for prompting me to figure this out... been meaning to for some time! Now to try break down the picking pattern...

Just LOVE this tune. Would love to see her perform at the Zeiterion in New Bedford, MA or better yet, Nectar's on Martha's Vineyard.

she's like guitar sarah mclachan

[hcmontessori]

@OrMush - She also sings a lot like Ginny Owens.

This woman is incredible! I saw her perform with her very talented band last night at The Festival in Sandpoint; it was FANTASTIC! If ever you get the chance to see her, don't pass it up!

[RevAmyinSC]

Agreed - she is just amazing.  One of my all-time favorites...

[rdulhr]

I saw her in concert last night at Bush Hall in London. She's so darn SASSY! I love her!

[JackConsumer]

She is, quite simply, one of the best singer-songwriters America has ever produced.

[JETDAB]

no doubt about it. A true talent. Saw her in NYC last week at Rubin Museum ...all acoustic no mics. Incredible

[broomgirl]

Hugely Impressed!

thanx!

Heard an interview where she said she wrote this for Nick Lachey, with whom she collaborated (and JC Chasez)in songwriting for the album. He passed, so she kept it for herself.
