Earlier this week I was at the Hideaway in St. Pete, Florida, a wonderful “Listening Room” venue where people come by to enjoy the music. Talk while the entertainer is performing and you will likely get ‘shushed”. We were there to hear the amazingly talented Betty Fox who performs there on alternate Wednesday evenings. Fox keeps you entertained with original songs and belts out blues as well as anyone you’ve heard.

During one set however, she sang an acoustic version of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” to a silently attentive house. With the high bar of Cohen himself and the popular k d lang cover, Fox made Hallelujah her own. Here’s a YouTube version.

Enjoy.
