Nutz - One more cup of coffee (Dylan cover)
Joe Cocker - Bye Bye Blackbird
Alex Escribano benidorm - I wlll always love you (One of our own here in Benidorm. I'll add the link in comments)
Bryan Ferry - These Foolish Things

Kenneth Bumby commented on this post about 5 days agoIt's very rare in my opinion that an original classic can be bettered but tonight I heard something that I think has achieved it.

Kenneth Bumby commented on this post about 5 days agoOn the subject of covers one of my favourite albums is Dylanesque by Bryan Ferry. His version of Make you feel my love blows Adele out of the water.
One for the rockers is Under Cover by Motorhead.
Their rendition of Heroes is brilliantComments (1)-

If I'm not mistaken the Judas Priest drummer for the Green Manalishi recording was the late Les Binks. A drummer from my home town. I had the pleasure of working with Les once. On a visit home one Christmas he stood in when our drummer was ill to help us out. Fabulous Drummer, but way to agresssive for the type of band we where, covering the Christmas tunes for the local workers parties. The double bass drum was not really needed for "Merry Christmas Everyone". A nice guy with no big ego considering the other acts he had played with. More ...
What a great experience to have Les dep for your band. You cant beat aDerek as a cover Whisky is fair play to anyone who wants to give it go.
What a great experience to have Les dep for your band. You cant beat a double bass drum and a metal drummer for Christmas songs gives the things a life it never knew it needed lol.
Great musicians dont have egos well the bass and drums dont we just stay in the background making everyone else sound good 😂😂 (well sometimes) then when we do step forward usually all hell breaks loose.
Think of me as the Ox mixed with Lemmy but missing my 'Plithy' Phil Taylor at the minute.

The karma is six years later, Thin Lizzy hit the big time with Whiskey in the Jar. Ever since that Brush Shiels has been releasing Irish Folks songs rocked up to try to emulate that. He has never had a major hit with any of them. He's now 80 years old. It's not gonna happen. More ...
