Joe Cocker did a lot of cover versions of many songs but he always seemed to manage to add something new and refreshing to them...
Most definitely, to each and every one of them.
My all time favorite has got to be 'Cry Me A River' though, because not only does he put a little more oomph into this one too, the drastic tempo change in CMAR puts it over the top for me.
The B-3 and guitar solos ain't too shabby either, although the latter could be just a half-a-notch louder IMO.
Frijid Pink...
Can't say which is better, as they are both great versions...
I have to go and read up stuff can never know enough.. The House of the Rising Sun dates back to 1933 an American folk type song...Wiki is good for that.... just a quick run through on this
so I never got to post it up, which does not matter, but in the mean while I see Paint it Black, a version by The Animals that I thought was good, but then it gets a tad OTT for me, has a long intro, so left that as well..but now going to post it.. easy to turn it off, if it hurts your ears ...
Rolling Stones Version for me..easy listening is one reason, loved the Stones live concerts and made sure I did get to them a few times, back in the 'good old days'...
Re: Copies some surprise and please some not so..dig in with any copies...
That sum's us humans up, you can't feel what I can...of course not we are all unique. Sometimes we just have the same vibes.
two covers bought out to support the Covid 19 Crisis which we are all aware of everyday.
My Son although has mostly recovered, since before Xmas he went down with the virus, he is still unfit to return to his job, a Bus Driver which is still a high risk job but nothing like what the NHS staff have to indure each and every day....
