Erykah Badu - On & On/Sorrow Tears And Blood {Tonight Show Dec 20, 2017}

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Nice performances by both band and vocalist, but, for me, the mashup just doesn't work very well. (They rarely do.) I wish she had simply performed 'Sorrow, Tears & Blood', as the band was solid and she seemed to be in good form.

I'm reminded of a quote from the Brit comedy The Mighty Boosh: "Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either." lol

For fucks sake Erykah, stop smoking weed and write some (badly needed) new tunes.
