"Sleepwalk" is also an example of "good songwriting", and it was not composed by Satriani.

Why settle for silver when you already have platinum times two?  Unless Patti Griffin's rendition makes it a "times three" thing?  Okay - I haven't heard that version, so perhaps a little more groveling might be in order here, for the sake of comparison. {#Mrgreen}

Listening to RP at work has it's advantages, but when Bill plays this song, it stops everything in my outer world and I just listen to the beauty of this song. Thanks Bill!

I have the same problem with this cover as I do with Patty's cover.  It's too pretty.  Doesn't convey the anguish of the lyrics.

That's being nit-picky, I know.  It's still a very lovely melody.
 

Listen to it live, they carry it off very nicely.

I know that looks has nothing to do with musical talent or song writing genius...  but holy hot.  Of course, the one on the far left with the black shirt off her shoulder looks like my high school best friend's sister that I was crushing on pretty hard.  I wonder what ever happened to Rachel...

Bumping this up to a 9.  Y'all should visit the website and check out the bio on these ladies - they have QUITE the credentials!  I'll definitely be investing in some of their music when my cash-flow increases. {#Sunny}

Saw them in concert Feb. 26, 2010, in Arroyo Grande, CA. An absolutely stunning evening! Voices so pure they made me weep. For the encore they walked to the front of the stage and sans microphones sang "One Voice" acapella. Left me speechless! {#Clap}

As much as I enjoy this band, I would REALLY like to hear some Waylon Jennings in regular rotation on here.  If not Waylon, then at least play more of the old school songwriter types, such as John Prine, Lyle, Willie, Townes, etc...  I know they get some representation, but I'd like them to take up a bit more of the pie and have currently popular bands (Killers, Artic whatever, Fiest, Jack Johnson) take up less of a slice.

I know, I know....can't please everyone.
