John Boutté sings Paul Simon's American Tune →
When #Treme theme song artist John Boutté played @LCOutofDoors in 2008 I asked how he wanted to be introduced. He told me: Just say, “this is John Boutté and he’s weary to his bones” and then sang me a personal, a cappella version of this song. One of the most moving performances I’ve ever seen.
