This has got to be one of the coolest modern reinterpretations of a classic Blues song that I've ever come across: Moses Sumney doing "Moanin'" for a "Take Away Show", recorded by the great Parisian musicography group "La Blogotheque".
Not only is the song just really cool, the video and dialog are a really intimate portrait of what it's like to play music on the streets. Just a really cool video over all.
BTW, If you've never heard of La Blogotheque, or their Take Away Show series (Les Concerts a Emporter), it's worth spending a little time with their back catalog: http://www.blogotheque.net/serie/concert-a-emporter/.

They video these performances artsily, and with good sound. ----------
Just FYI, here's another recent "Take Away Show" that will likely appeal to folks here at MBH (no harp, but great singing and cool horns): St. Paul and the Broken Bones doing "It's Midnight.
