wow! blown away! just coming across this for the first time after hearing Lanois talk about it while being interviewed by Buddy Miller and Emmylou Harris on SiriusXM

What a voice! What a duet!

Holy Cow! Thank you NPR for helping me discover these bands I should have known about a long time ago!!! This woman's voice is a revelation!!!

I think they are the best. The band with Daniel Lanois Brian Blades and Daryl Johnson is just unbelievably at the top of their game. Couple that with the addition of Trixie Whitley who makes my heart soar everytime she uses her amazing voice to belt out tunes with the heart felt soul of a true angel. A voice that truly invokes Janis Joplin , Billie Holiday channeling great blues artists of the past. Oh my god they are so good. Thank you!

This is music. This is heart and soul. This is the reason I love music so much. If you can listen to this and not feel the heartbreak, the intensity, and the tears that went into it, then I'm truly sorry. I'm a grown man, and this made me cry. #onthereal

The singing is too much. Too put on. There's an artifice to it. The songs of sadness and heartbreak she sings, well, if someone was actually feeling those emotions, they wouldn't sing like that. It would be raw emotion and vocal tone, not theatrical blues. I respect everything else about these compositions but her voice destroys the sincerity of the message. Too much bravado, "Listen to me!" ego stuff going on.

I've just come to TW recently, (1/18) and I'm so glad I waited. Her work is completely different 7 years later than what this clip portrays. I've been a massive fan of her father's for decades and had the pleasure of seeing him countless times.. (anyone who does not know of him needs to be schooled.) Her work today has gone far afield from the loud vocal approach you hear here. She has turned inward, much as her father did at points in his career when he was alone with his guitar, bandless, and it is devastatingly beautiful and effective. Her songs are sparse, slow, intimate, quiet, stunning. It appears she has hit on the true muse within. At least it was present in that church in Brooklyn this winter, where she sat in a pew in the dark and sang the most beautiful song in the world only with a piano to accompany her. If I had my fucking phone on video instead of photo I'd have uploaded what you could see for yourselves but I'm a moron, too bad for her and everyone else. She doesn't have her father's guitar skills but she has his hold and cadence and timing and that's good enough for her to get around most any song she wants to sing as you can see the kernels of in the clip at 15:01. This clip is only representational of the artist in transition, like any.

I watch this video over and over again and I still can't get enough. I love the spirit of this duo. Its amazing how the creativity of artists can speak so personally to others' souls. I feel this resonating happiness every time I press play. Thank You for sharing your talents.

The great thing about these talented musicians is that they're able to reinvent their songs again and again.

So beautiful and well expressed...saw Black Dub three times.❤️

her voice is a straight arrow to the heart.

ok the song "Siverado" gives me goose bumps. I can't believe Trixie's voice. Her singing goes right to my soul

One of the best performances I have ever seen. Saw her live in Rotterdam ~10years ago and today KZread waved this video into my screen. Tremendous

They are like gods of music!

Gifted...Lanois is such a great guitar player !!

Just can't stop listening .... Love it !

if i only could loop this video so it runs all day long.. Such amazing music.

Well I certainly did not expect THAT voice! WOW I was simply blown away. My God she is gooooooood! Next stop: buying her/their album. Thanks NPR.

They all rock when you put your heart and soul into 'em. Thanks for sharing.

Wonder ! Thanks for posting, NPR Music

I am in love with her voice! Can't wait to see them all play live :D

Amazing what a sweet lark and an ol' vet can give flight to.

What an amazing tone and way of singing. Inspiring!

What a voice, you guys rock. Thanks for performing and posting.

this music goes right to my soul.............

She's amazing but I will always get chills by Lanois' voice. I love it. I love his soul.

I keep coming back to this. It's so powerful. Top 5 tiny desk for me!

brought tears to my eyes....thx

She's super emotional with these songs and that makes them so amazing. I've sang songs when I didn't feel them and it was so boring. But when you can breathe life and emotion into them it's just chilling

You're so AMAZING Trixie,Where the HELL have you been hiding?? The WORLD needs to hear what you have to say.Enjoy your ride to the stars lady,cause you already are one,the WORLD just don't know it yet!!

I'm frozen...Wow this has so much depth..Thanks NPR...

her voice its surely amazing!

Oh goodness, Trixi you are far out, and amazing, I will be following.

I love her voice!

love them both

Trixie Whitley is one of those persons/musicians where you think "Yea, she's pretty sweet" and then you hear them again and you go "Damn, how good can she actually be?"

Rare is the female singer that blows me away. This lady tore me to pieces. Wow.

Oh my goodness, this is so good for me..

so talented! bravo

Her voice in no hesitation has to go in the history book. Cool cool awesoma

Brilliant for sure.

She's outstanding.

Friggin BRILLIANT!

GIFTED greatly

Wonderful! Please come to Japan!

Sweet and powerful.

extraordinary!

Wow. That apple didn't fall far from the tree at all. She sounds like her dad, who I am still a fan of. She's amazing!

really like it!

Purely spellbinding.

surely you were meant to be heard.

Perfect!

Don't see this type of thing on npr often. However great it always is. Wish I could give 5 stars

I think I'm in love with her. But there's so much passion in her voice there probably wouldn't be much left for me. *sigh* I'll just have to love her from afar.

holy shit...tears...

this is so much better than the over produced studio recording

Ah, I don't know what to say!?. But; ah shivers down my spine all the way through loved it!. Girl got some lungs on her and Lanois can sure play. Silverado! These 2 have got great chemistry :)

definitely best album of the year... possibly, the decade.

I've seen Dan & Trixie live, and I've listened to her new stuff. It stuns me that she is just getting better...

wow.. speechless

Damn, that was incredible.

Awesome

good to hear........

Im moved. :] This has so much emotion.

Raw is beautiful.

OHHH MY GOD, THAT " SURELY " GOES RIGHT THROUGH MY BONES

it'd be nice if NPR Music could upload this video in HD, it's pretty amazing.

love that photo of Sun Ra behind them!

wow!

Trixie is my HERO

Black Dub: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert ,,,,,fantastic.... recherche du temps perdu

she made her dad proud.........then, now, for always

GOD DAMN!

@sonicpenguin exactly .... your right man !!! this album is incredible !!!!

Wow, great energy. I saw Trixie with her father, the late great Chris Whitley, at the Gibson guitar festival in the late 90s in Newport RI. They played a duet, I think Powerdown, she was maybe 8 or 9 but you could see her potential. I'm sure Chris is smiling somewhere.

me too!!!

I have just fallen in love.....

Black Dub please come to St. John's NL, please please please !! :-)

@manimal75 She has been amazing since she was a little girl dancing on stage with her dad while he played. She really is a super talent.

Einfach genial Daniel Mach sie zum Stern

... just saw them and Rocco DeLuca at the El Rey last night. Oh yes. You should be jealous. It was phenomenal!!

beau

A bit of Joan armitrading here and that's a great compliment.

Silverado🖤🖤

wow

@AchelleGrooves Strangely enough - I love pretty much everything I've heard from Black Dub, except the pieces on the actual album... and I really did want to love that album.

daniel lanois is a pure genius as far as working with musicians goes..There's a book about this fella somewhere. Take a look at his history & you'll know the calliber this guy has an eye for talent. I don't doubt trixie for a second, if he's got her back. Oh The Joy.. was enough for me.

This is my pick for best banf of 2010...

I don't get why it takes the audience, after every song, like 5 seconds before they start to clap.. Aren't they watching or paying attention?? it's akward for trixie and Daniel. I would go nuts if I would see this live and would most def start to clap too soon! :) They are magic..
