In tribute to Martin's excellent series Cover Charge, which reach its impressive fiftieth edition late last week, I am reviving one of my old series... for one day only.
Here's an original tune by the peerless Gibb brothers, which I'm sure you're all familiar with...
And here's a cover which sounds nothing like the original, but does sound very much like a Jonathan Richman song. This is taken from JR's new album, Only Frozen Sky Anyway, which comes out to buy in October, but it's available digitally now. You know you want to...
Excellent. Thanks.
ReplyDelete"Peerless Gibb Brothers" - I would agree.
ReplyDeleteI do like that cover though. As you say it sounds nothing like the original and if not for the words you probably wouldn't identify it. A song from nearly 50 years ago - the mind boggles. I'm getting old.
Marvellous stuff, and cheers for the nod.
