Okay, I give in to the weight of public opinion (three blog comments). The premise of Cover Charge is simple. Artist A covers artist B, then B covers C and C covers D, and so on and so forth, until you, me or Google give up on blogs altogether.
Last time: Toots and the Maytals to Radiohead
Radiohead have, at various times, covered a number of Neil Young songs but for my money one of their better attempts is this, Cinnamon Girl:
And here's the original from Neil and Crazy Horse:
Next time, some time: Mr Young covers someone. But who?
That rare 1983 promo white label of Neil covering Yashar by Cabaret Voltaire?
ReplyDeleteOr did I imagine that…?
Nothing so exciting...
DeleteI have always loved the original but wow, Radiohead have done it proud - lovely and heavy and enough to give me goosebumps, it'd be one of those which, if I had been there in the audience,would have made me feel a certain type of satisfying thrill that you can only get from moments like that. Thom's voice suits it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteYes, it worked really well for them, I agree. Can't beat an audience thrill.
