  • KT Tunstall tells these unbelievable story of her #1 HIT, Black Horse and A Cherry Tree. This Interview blew me away, as I wasn’t expecting such a cool story and a cool artist…KT explains how because of a freak cancelation on Jools Holland, KT was able to perform her song with a Loop Pedal and overnight here song scaled the charts. She plays the song and tells the story of writing this Bo Diddley/ Bonnie Raitt like pop hit from the 2000s.

Where my expectation are blown out of the water, where I ‘m looking at my camera crew and they’re looking at me with the same flabbergasted intensity like Wow! This person is really cool. Coming up is one of those times, where I walked away from the interview with big smile. I’m not even going to introduce her, I’ll just let the interview speak for itself… As we goi into this interview I want to thank our sponsor Zenni Eyewear, at Zenni.com you are able to Customize your eyewear with a prescription lens or non-prescription lens if you just want the an awesome look or distinctive color or a particular style of lens. check it out today: here’s the interview

      Growing up on Punk/Indie in the 80s, I actively avoided Pink Floyd/Prog. It was uncool "Dinosaur Rock" & your parents going to Lazer Floyd didn't help. _Kid A_ comes out & critics compare it to _DSOTM._ So, out of curiosity, I listen to Floyd for the first time. They had me from the opening chord of "Breathe".
      Joni Mitchell's another one. Celebrated primarily for her early Hippie/Laurel Canyon albums (which I still can't get into), I never understood the depth & expanse of her genius until I heard _Hissing Of Summer Lawns._ Some of the most sublime, elegant music I'd ever heard.

    As a drummer, I love how she references her “percussive” playing, the importance of “stops,” and teaching guitarists the rhythm before notes (and scales). Not to mention how she seeks a drummer who “swings” instead of a straight 4/4 and/or four-on-the-floor style. Basically…a drummer with groove. Well done KT…and Professor!

    Dear Professor of Rock. This is one of the best interviews I have seen on your channel. Sometimes, in interviews with other people, it is like pulling teeth to get the artist to tell an interesting story. However, in this interview, Ms. Tunstall is such an engaging storyteller, and you gave her the space to be one while still directing the conversation. You guys really meshed well together. As a music lover of comparable age, thank you for doing what you do.

      When it was said in this video that the song was from 2005, I was a bit confused at first because I'd somehow thought it was from the 90's! Probably because KT reminds me a lot of Melissa Etheridge, especially with *this* song. And yes, she's *totally* cool! 😀

      ‘Suddenly I See’ is what I remember being the real breakthrough too. Cherry Tree wasn’t even originally to be on the album.
      I definitely heard Suddenly first on US radio, new song CD’s that used to come in magazines.
      I seriously may not have known it was the same artist, as the songs are pretty different. At least the studio versions. Live, her voice is much more recognizable in both songs, but back when I first heard Cherry Tree, I didn’t think, “Oh, this is the Suddenly I See singer.”
      I think Black Horse was on a Paste magazine new releases/deep cuts CD, just months later, then the video was aired and she was promoting it on shows.
      The Jools Holland performance and the American Idol cover really broke her through though.

The girt, passion and musicianship - especially when the loop pedal was so new - she blew our minds. In our circle we all say "No KT - No Ed" And she's as cool now as she was then.

    Thank you very much @Professor of Rock for this interview. You are in the strike zone for artists that I want to understand what motivates and how they are inspired by what they create. This interview took me by surprise like it did for you. I would like to commend you for your interview style - it really allows an artist to feel comfortable and think through the creative process that they use. I think it is true that almost no bands are a democracy and this makes total sense because and great artist does not want to compromise on their creative vision and also need to be able to work through getting to that perfect place of creative vision which is many times accented by beautiful accidents that happen along the way. I truly think your channel will be archived for the ages and influence a big way future artists that have that want and need to just be how they are and able to create and entertain regardless of how much fame the ultimately achieve. I am will be bet at some point in the future your channel and amazing ability have real talk with the core of the artist community will inspire many generations of new artists !!

    A lot was going on in my life when this song came out. I remember hearing it on-the-fly a few times. I enjoyed it, but it got lost in the noise surrounding my life. I swear, I thought it was Bonnie Raitt. I could not find it. I listen to every album Bonnie Raitt put out and was frustrated that I could not find it. The local DJs had no idea. I got busy, life got in the way, and time passed. Thank you for this. I never realized such a beautiful face was behind such a beautiful song. And such a humble heart. I'm driving to the record store right now to find the album. Her voice will accompany me on my next cross-country Adventure. Another great interview.

    I saw a picture of the album cover, and thought this looks different, and I like all kinds of different music. I then heard the song weeks or months later, and got the album, and all the other albums that have been released. I like how she is always happy and friendly on TV or other interviews. I didn't realize the song was written and worked out as a way to use a loop pedal and make a song like that, and how it was almost left off the record. Great interview, I love how you do all these videos for a lot of songs and performers, sometimes the way these were done always has a great story behind it.

    I had never heard of KT Tunstall before until I had watched the show 'Long Lost Family'. She had been adopted when she was very tiny and was looking for her biological father. She had found her biological mother and was hoping to find her father. She also found two sisters on her father's side. Such an awesome story!!!! I looked her up on RUclips after the show and found I like her music!! And her accent!!! LOL

    I remember hearing Black Horse on the radio when it first hit in America... I immediately went online and bought a copy of the CD (taking a chance on what I call "McCartney Syndrome"-- where the one song getting airplay is really the only good song on the album). That CD stayed in my car CD player for at least a month as I listened to every song on it over and over, as every song on the album is great in its' own right... What a joy it is to find out that KT is even more wonderful than I imagined! Love you, KT!

    OMG! I love her! I remember the first time i heard this song. I couldn’t get it out of my head. I listened to it over and over again, having no idea how she did it. The comparison to Bonnie Raitt is a good one, but KT has her own unique energy and depth. The interview was fantastic. I love how you let the artist talk, without interrupting or redirecting. All the blues references KT made are familiar to me and beloved, so, as well as listening to KT today, I’ll be revisiting some old friends. Thank you. 💋

As well as her great music, I love her personality. She's so, positive, fun and larger than life. It really comes over in her patter on stage, and in interviews.

    Loved this! Her passion about writing and performing comes shining through, but the PG audio edits interrupt the flow a bit.

She's an excellent song writer and highlights that a good pop song can really be good music. She's on the level of Kirsty MacColl and Bonnie Raitt.

Blues singers from Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Jacksonville, Tallahassee. I spent most of that summer at TC's. This was the first place I heard Zydeco. It was small less than 300, out on state rd 23.
