David Elliot - Bring It On Home To Me

David Elliot - Bring It On Home To Me

A follow up to yesterday's She & Him show: the show was moved to the larger Webster Hall, and tickets from both nights were accepted. Zooey Deschanel was in fact sick; she avoided any banter and saved her voice for the songs. But for every crack or cough in her voice, she turned around and hit the high note. In between songs, she held up signs with handwritten thoughts like "Hello New York!", "Thank You" and "Hi".

They played M. Ward's Magic Trick as an encore. But their last song, a cover of Sam Cooke's Bring It On Home To Me, was magical. This song was also recently covered by Britt Daniel of Spoon for the Bridging The Distance compilation. But its the David Elliot version that I love the most. His song is from the Ali Soundtrack, the same album that has Al Green's cover of Sam Cooke's A Change Is Gonna Come. Elliot's version has much of that same call-and-response; I love the way he transitions into "Look! Listen! Let me hear you say YEAH!"
