  • Tracy is so strong in this clip that no one cares that Robben Ford is on guitar and I think that's Nathan East on bass. How good is that? Twenty years later and I still miss this tv show.

  • I will add that, even though I'm a big Tracy fan, she too has sung a lot of material that wasn't that great, but what she's done right has made up for it.

  • @bixntram Are you replying to me? If so, you completely misunderstand my comment. I'm saying she doesn't JUST do blues or gospel influenced stuff. Please read more carefully.

  • Really, how can you say Tracy doesn't do blues and gospel influenced stuff? "Mother Earth" is a straight ahead blues, "I'm Satisfied," her signature "Down So Low," etc, etc. show a definite gospel influence, plus her voice is always blues-drenched. I can't think of the titles of the the things I didn't care for but there were a bunch - NOT the country stuff, which was fine. I confess I'm a horn player, so I listen for chord changes, stuff I'd want to solo on, so there's my taste.

  • @bixntram I could listen to Tracy sing the phonebook, but I think her taste is pretty close to impeccable. I'd be curious to learn what you don't think is particularly good. Of course, she doesn't just do blues or gospel influenced stuff, so maybe you didn't care for the country stuff or some of the pop balladry. As far as Janis comparisons go, well, she never understood them herself. Tracy was never that raw and ragged. Not that raw and ragged is necessarily bad--just not Tracy.

  • @triptoheaveandho I don't seem them as being that far apart in genre, but I don't mean to quibble. They were both big-voiced "belters" who did blues and gospel-influenced material (Bonnie Raitt is probably the most successful example). In truth I never cared for most of the songs Janis sang - just a matter of taste. She sounded screechy and hysterical to me - But certainly, she had her following. May she R.I.P.

  • @bixntram thats like comparing aples to oranges -two very different styles and very far apart in genre... both artists are wonderful

  • Damn, she's still ten times better than Janis in her prime! Wail, Tracy!

  • Nobody better than Tracy, ever since Mother Earth - what, twenty years earlier? She just got better. This is a great clip.

  • very fine

  • One of the best. This IS the blues.
