Corinne Bailey Rae – Trouble Sleeping
I had another song all ready to go, but then Corinne Bailey Rae had to had to pop-up on my iPod. I remember originally seeing a video for “Put you records on” show up in the middle of the night on VH1. After that I ran across her on Austin City Limits, and then again on Live From Abbey Road on Sundance. Finally under her spell, I bought her first album and could have posted any number of track from it in this very spot. Sadly, in March her husband died of an apparent drug overdose. Breezy songs that radiate a warm smile are now filled with more than a touch of heartbreak as you realize that her husband must have been the inspiration for much of her writing.
*Please excuse me if you get an ad before the video. This was the best quality video that I could find on short notice.
