He Came Dancing Across The Water

A couple of years ago we were out with friends one night and while driving home we had WPKN (89.5) on the radio.  We often have no clue what we are listening to on that station but we like the eclectic variety of music they play.  A song comes on and after a few minutes we realize it's a cover of the 1970s Neil Young tune Cortez The Killer.  It rambles along for about 20 minutes and at the end the DJ goes on to the next song without saying who played the last one.

Well, when we got home we did the usual - went on the Internet and YouTube to find it.  We never did find the version we heard on the radio but we did find the amazing version embedded below featuring Joe Satriani (guitar), Grace Potter (vocal and organ) and Willy Waldman (horn), which I've often listened to since that night.

This was the first we'd heard of Grace Potter but then started listening to her band (Grace Potter and The Nocturnals) and we've tried to find an opportunity to see them live ever since.  Here's some samples:
