Listening Post #23: Somebody's Knocking


The new "single" by Mattiel caught my attention, though I didn't realise it was a cover version. Mattiel appears to have split from her longtime producer Jonah Swilley, so this new one is credited to Mattiel and Troy Stains... which sounds to me like something you'd clean off your wooden horse. No offence, Troy.


The original, it turns out, was a country hit back in the early 80s for Terri Gibbs... and it's just as good / even better (depending on your mileage) as Mattiel's version.


Mattiel's version is backed up with a nice laid back cover of one of my favourite Bob songs. On the b-side, if this was the old days...
