Absolutely amazing.

[@herrahuh]

Oh my what a voice.

[@dallott]

Beautiful is all you can say.

[@AcrossfromtheAlamo]

Is this a Tom Waits composition? Who ever wrote it... she owns it!

[@Nightwizard17]

@CalebNihira simple things have direct line to the heart.

[@sanmitsu123]

Now that is an artist.

The size looks like a tenor. Sounds like a low G string, tuned down to F. Not sure if the higher strings are tuned differently.

[@artmonger78]

song is great, voice is great, recording is great (could use a couple pops and scratches like an old record, IMHO) Yay Sara Watkins.. imma go flood my ears with some more of her voice!

[@merc0049]

It looks like F, Bb, D, G... Tuned like the high 4 strings on
a guitar. Everything up a minor 3rd. The tune is in Bb ( G shape chord )
It is Bb ( G open chord ) with Eb ( C cowboy open chord)
and F( D open chord).
Nice version.
Interesting axe.

Is she playing a ukulele (or baritone ukulele) in this clip?

[@jenstefas]

Despite loving Tom Waits, I really did not love this song until I hear Sara do it live.

[@JDvorak2009]

[@kidgloves2]

Is it a baritone or a tenor?

[@BunkoStew]
