Singing of "Sadie Brown" with her bloodshot red eyes telling her sad tale in old Bailey's barroom. Pure magic. Always moves me to tears.

My Morning Jacket joined the Preservation Hall Jazz Band on stage and their lead singer, Jim James, sang a fantastic version of St. James Infirmary. Maybe someday a recording will be available.

I've been hunting around for a recording that really has that elegiac quality that made "Saint James Infirmary" stick in my mind, but nothing quite fits what I remember. Thanks!
