Cover Charge is simple: A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop back to where I started, Ouroboros-style.
Last time: Pulp to Rita Coolidge
Aside from her Bond theme I don't know much about Rita Coolidge, to be honest with you, except that there was a period in the 1970s when she was married to Kris Kristofferson. It will come as no surprise, then, to learn that not only did she record several duets with him, she also covered some of his songs. Frankly, none of them do too much for me but this - Late Again - is one of the least dull. Rita recorded it in late '75, for her album It's Ony Love.
No surprise to note that this isn't a great departure from Kris's 1974 original, save for being in a different key. I can admit to quite liking the organ, guitar and bassline from the original, which sound like they beyond as backing music in an early episode of Starsky and Hutch.
Next time: incredbily, Kris can get stomped by Obie!
I have a Kris and Rita album which is pretty bland
ReplyDeleteI can well believe that.
