I hadn't seen Jesse Winchester perform in too many years so I made the pilgrimage to his Montreal concert last night at the Sala Rossa hall last night.

What an incredible singer-songwriter Jesse is. Every single one of his songs is a little masterpiece of words and melody. His singing is full of Southern soul and his guitar playing, on a nylon string guitar, was beautiful. There were several hundred people packed into the sold-out show who hung on every note and every word and rewarded Jesse with a highly deserved and sustained standing ovation. One of the best shows I've ever seen by a singer-songwriter.
