Great song choice for her.  Guess we'll have to wait until April...

Guess this was the right place to put this, my apologies if not.

Excellent!  In a recent RT interview, he rated Bonnie Raitt's recording of this tune as his favorite cover of one of his own songs.  He described Bonnie's singing as "effortless."  Alison Krauss is a similarly wonderful singer.

Before Robert Plant recorded "House of Cards" for Band of Joy, he performed "Matty Groves" in concert with Allison Krauss.  The Fairport/RT legend spreads slowly but relentlessly, like a fungus.

Finally heard this on the radio last weekend - it's absolutely gorgeous (and faithful to the original).

That sounds a bit unpleasant! Can you get it treated?
