She's amazing on all levels.

This lady and the band/s that back her up are tremendously talented.  The more I hear, the more I am impressed.  Doing the old classic "Danny Boy" with Jeff Beck..."Train Kept a Rollin".the Patsy Cline classic "Walking After Midnight...."Johnny Got a Boom Boom"   Talent in a very appealing package indeed.
