Monday's show was particularly good, I thought. I switched off before the final track of course, but I bet I wasn't the only one.

Well done, Bryan & Richard! PDB, BTW!

Jerry Reed, whose song this is, played it for laughs. This is a much darker interpretation.

All Along the Watchtower - Thea Gilmore (Hendrix)

House of Cards - Robert Plant & the Band of Joy (Richard Thompson)

This week's themes.

and the best one's on Friday when I won't be in. :0(

or

There's only one way to settle it - fight!

Ìý
Don't worry. They'll move the goalposts so far it won't even vaguely resemble the theme you think it's gonna be.

What theme do you think it's gonna be?

Ìý
#13 refers to #11

'House of the Rising Sun' ~~~ John Otway




.............. not in a million years i guess ...................

Eh.... Oh aye!

"Keen to steer clear of just ordinary cover versions HERE are the artists who really tried to do something with their version I.M.H.O."

JAM ~ (LOVE IS LIKE A ) HEAT WAVE
MODERN ROMANCE ~ CHERRY PINK AND APPLE BLOSSOM WHITE
NEIL ~ HOLE IN MY SHOE
POLECATS ~ JOHN I'M ONLY DANCING
REX SMITH & RACHEL SWEET ~ EVERLASTING LOVE
U K SUBS ~ SHE'S NOT THERE

Bryan often makes out he can Talk the Talk but can he Walk the Walk

Sally Timms & Pine Valley Cosmonauts ~ Homicide (999)

#13 haha, can't exactly remember, something about linking bands through musical family trees eg Hollies, CSNY. Or else an interactive night linking the song name to a band name alternately. Or something. Norrie had an idea and it was much, much, much better than mine, maybe he can explain.

Generally speaking, I don't much care for cover versions unless it's over versions that introduce some new interpretation or understanding of the song/music.

Cars -The Leisure Society I did get this played a few weeks ago, but it remains markedly different and is worthy of inclusion.

Chin Chin Cheree - Turin Brakes

Light My Fire - Clarence Carter turns this into the soul classic it should always have been.No one else captures the mood so completely.

Long Tall Sally -The Beatles

Umbrella - Manic Street Preachers

That'll do for now..

henri

This is wonderful...

Willy DeVille - 'Hey Joe' (mariachi version)

John Holt's reggae versions...

'Never Never Never' (Shirley Bassey etc)
'Help Me Make It Through the Night' (Kris Kristofferson)

#26 White Stripes? Dunno where that came from. A senior moment.
I meant flaming Lips.

Cant get you out of my head / Flaming Lips

Glen Campbell:

'God Only Knows' (Beach Boys)
'Southern Nights' (Allen Toussaint)

Ah yes , reggae (Trojan) covers: my favourite -

Midnight Rider - Paul Davidson

Midnight Rider - Gregg Allman very different.

Hendrix Medley (Hey Joe / Purple Haze / Voodoo Chile) ~ Soft Cell

Yet another repeat shout ;-(

Seriously...the Willy DeVille 'Hey Joe' is really really good" with a great mariachi horn section!

Angelique Kidjo also does a song called 'Voodoo Chile (slight return)' - same lyrics...very different sound.

#55 I was being serious!

- The Yayhoos - Melodies from Sweden, guitars from Georgia

The things you learn listening to Brian Matthew's Sounds of the 60s


>8-D

Brian is 83 and entitled to a Michael Parkinson pen

Brian isn't scared to play Captain Beefheart and The Incredible String Band. I think he's entitled to a Crackerjack pencil as well.

STAYIN' ALIVE by OZZY & THE ZAPPAS

Wot, no Frankie? How sad...

Jeezo.......


Come back, Frankie! All is forgiven!

#73

Ooh, This Mortal Coil. I'd forgotten that The Jeweller was a cover too!

And there's a smashing, smashing Ska cover of Paint It Black by the Mod-ettes, and Ike & Tina's version of Honky Tonk Woman

Then there's that Human League cover of the Get Carter theme... could go on for a while.

Like the Blessed HH, I only really like covers that do something interesting...

Anyone else remember Bill Wyman's song about covers?

Interesting show even if some of the covers weren't that unusual.
Have to agree with miss B re blancmange. Awful!

Ìý
That was the first version I heard. I had no idea it was an Abba song.

Paolo,

Here's a wee gift for Imelda.
