"Concrete Sky (Acoustic)" by Beth Orton

Beth OrtonBeth Orton is another one of my favorite female vocalists. Needless to say, her voice is sublime - at once fragile, yet strong and almost always beautiful. Many of the songs on her last few albums wouldn't be out of place on this blog. But if I had to pick a natural fit, it would be a live and acoustic version of "Concrete Sky" from The Other Side of Daybreak. I love the original version of the song (& encourage you to check it out here), but there is something a little bit more unbelievable and moving in the stripped down version.

Close your eyes and listen:
