One for the Road: Bumpus's Rachael Yamagata Era

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Dec 29, 2010 10:30PM

Wanna get Tankboy even more animated? Mention Rachael Yamagata. He's one of her biggest fans.

We wanted something upbeat for today's "One for the Road" and, with Aretha Franklin battling health issues (she's not dead), we found this nice slice of Yamagata's time in Bumpus to be a fitting tribute to the Queen of Soul.
