Grace Potter and the Nocturnals covered the classic Otis Redding song “Pain In My Heart” a few days ago at Workplay in Birmingham, Alabama.

“Pain In My Heart” was the debut single on the debut record by Otis and it also appeared on “The Rolling Stones, Now!”. As much as I love the Stones this version simply doesn’t “hurt” enough for me. This show seems to have been much blusier and soulful than a few of the more recent “rock it out jams” – any thoughts on that?

“Pain In My Heart” sung by Grace is awesome. That`s why I like them so much. They have all the respect to great musicians from the 60ies and 70ies. I bet, in 40 years from now we will have many versions of NBTW, “Over Again” or “Big White Gate”
thanks for the comparative music lesson! I am so unfamiliar with the history of this song – all three singers created a different aura while keeping the words and basic beat the same – thanks again!
A little more history, Scott: You know I love the Grateful Dead. They played “Pain In My Heart” in July 1966, somewhere live!
