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?
