Music I’m Listening To: JEFF BECK & JOSS STONE “People Get Ready.”
Posted by Steve under Music I'm Listening To[2] Comments
From the online SingOut website:
“People Get Ready†continues to cross, or defy, genre in the 52 years since its creation. It remains both enormously popular and enormously accessible to a wide range of artists. Rolling Stone named it as the 24th greatest song of all time. The Rise Again songbook places “People Get Ready†in its “Gospel†section, but also footnotes it in the “Freedom†section. Along the way, it has fit into soul, gospel, jazz, reggae, country (gospel), blues, rock, and pop genres.

Joss Stone with the Jeff Beck Group? I thought she was purely from the land of EDM. Deepsky, for example.

I’ve not followed her career all that much, so I could easily be told I’m wrong, but I think of Joss Stone as a rock/soul/funk singer, not EDM. I assume the pairing on stage with Jeff Beck was only a temporary thing, but I thought their performance together on this video was well worth pointing out.
