KT Tunstall Breaks Down 'Black Horse And The Cherry Tree'

The charming Scottish singer-songwriter shows us how she created her smash hit with her voice, some claps, a Gibson acoustic, and a looper.

As a solo guy from way back, I can say that this amazing person has changed solo gigging like it's never been changed before. Looping is so damn cool. KT, you're the best!!!

Straightforward, unpretentious, educational, funny. Much to like about KT.

KT is an absolute treasure. She played a concert in our little city on 4th of July to an appallingly tiny crowd. She pointed out that we could each catch her eye, and we would all be able to share a special night with her! She gave us a great concert, full of life, energy, and humor. For that she will always be one of the greatest stars I have ever had the fortune to share a room with.

If you ever get the opportunity to see KT play live, grab it with both hands, you won't be disappointed. I've seen her live several times, and it's still not enough. Seeing and hearing her play live is addictive, your next KT fix can't come soon enough.

She's as much fun in concert as she is here one-on-one. A true musical artist that hasn't forgotten where she comes from.

After seeing her many years ago in a small venue in Preston UK and feeling like we were in her living room, I went out and bought ‘the wee bastard pedal’ and learned very quickly why she calls it that .
She is fantastic in concert ❤

Now THIS is a Creative Genius...using simple tools to create a unique style and original music...I wish her all the success in the world.

[eddierayvanlynch]

Still one of THE coolest acoustic guitar tunes...

Not only is she incredibly talented but just an insanely likeable person in general

I love how looping has become an instrument and a means for solo artists to really add some layers to their songs live.

[davidreid]

Why doesn't this have a million views, likes and comments!?! Just brilliant!

[Swoop]

That young lady has more pure talent in her pinky than 75% of todays "musicians" have in their entire body!

Just loved this one. She just enjoyed the hell out of that didn’t she

[leepshin]

One of the many Scottish innovators produced by my proud country. She really showed what the Akai Headrush 2 could truely do and it's the single reason why I have one myself. One of the best purchases I ever made.

[markO]

I remember watching that Jools Holland when it went out, safe to say I’ve been a KT fan ever since! Even managed to catch her live once, great musician

[corneliuscrewe]

I love her, she is just full of life.

[sarobinson]

Great powerful voice for a wee girlie!

[MirlitronOne]

A brilliant song by a superb musician. Now for part two - "What do the words mean?"

[deadlegs]

Love her spirit. She showed me how to use a looper about 12 years ago

I saw KT last summer in Omaha with Squeeze and she is an amazing musician, singer, storyteller, and entertainer. I love ya, Katie!
