    Re: Sublime / Ridiculous covers of a great song

    This one's a little out of left field.
    "Mack The Knife" done by Jimmie Dale Gilmore.
    http://youtu.be/-QDkF2VutZo

    I never liked the Bobby Darin version. Seemed like second tier Sinatra shtick.
    Having heard a few versions that are closer to the original, and don't portray Mack Heath as merely a swingin hep cat, rather than a killer, I really can't take the ring-a-ding Vegasy incarnations.
    I guess it's just tough to figure out how to write or sing a song about a murderer.
    This one replaces the creepy boho Berlin oompah of the "authentic" takes, with a seductively erie feel, along with some beautiful guitar work, and, well, Jimmie's singular singing style.
    I love this.

    Damn.
    Because I know it better, and the circumstances under which I first heard it, no doubt, I much prefer Jennifer Warnes version from Cohen-produced Famous Blue Raincoat.

    See if this link works...

    Oh yeah.
    I can't seem to locate my copy of that.

    I really like the sound of that band KD's with.

    Me, too. She sounded less on top of it than I usually hear her, but I love what the band is doing.

    Re: Sublime / Ridiculous covers of a great song

    The Raincoat album and JW's performances are awesome, BUT there are lots 80's sonic tattoos. Subtle, but very 80's.

    I like how that small band with KD plays a similar arrangement with less technology. There's more air, which is a nice setting for a bird.

    Wow.
    More the former than the latter.
    You don't see many young people aspiring to be trombonist/suitcase drummers.
    Whoever shot that deserves some sort of accolade.

    Tasty! I had no idea she played guitar...and well too.

    I saw Ron Sexsmith perform a few tunes. He just seems really shy and uncomfortable about perfoming, yet still does an amazing job.

    This is a cover...sort of, I guess

    Re: Sublime / Ridiculous covers of a great song

    Oh man!
    That defines sublime.
    That would've sat well on his 1st album where he brought a similar touch to his Leonard Cohen cover.
    Real nice.

    Ooh.
    She's really got a certain something.
    And that harmonizer mic is a cool thing.

    Never heard her before.

    Those all ultra.

    I remember seeing that episode of "Spectacle" when it ran the firs time, and remarking (maybe even on this forum) that nobody ever looked more outclassed than Sheryl Crow did sitting between EC and Ron Sexsmith.

    I was there for the taping. Oddly enough, even though I'm really not a fan of her music, I liked her more after seeing her. She really seemed in awe of the folks around her. Unfortunately, they did devote a lot of time to her, even though she was completely out of her league as a singer and songwriter by the other folks on stage.

    Neko Case, unfortunately ended up being the shrinking violet on that stage.

    Speaking of Neko and covers, here's one I'm fond of:

    Robert, I've never heard of St. Vincent either, other than the thrift store. That was pretty darn cool.

    I had to choose between that and the RT/Levon Helm show. I couldn't do both. I had just a couple days notice, and it made a nice surprise for Mrs. Kap'n's birthday.

    Re: Sublime / Ridiculous covers of a great song

    Thanks for the palette cleanser, because that funky first one was pretty hard to forget.

    The Shawn Colvin cover reveals (in ce you hadn't already caught it) just what a terrific song that Gnarls Barkly tune really is, minus CeeLo and awesome production and all. It also makes me really miss the Jim & Shelly Show. We coulda done that just right.

    Even the video of the original is cool.

    The bare core of the song is killer.

    This one gets a little boost in ridiculousness, because the songs is blatantly awful. Sorry, I veered from the initial spirit of the thread.
    Plus, it's a boxer singing, which makes it a kind of a knockout.

    I'm also sorry for just subjecting you to this.
    Luckily, there are some nice palatte cleansers above.

    Gordon Gano's (Violent Femmes) sister lives in my town and he is making a guest appearance at the First Annual Jamaica Plain (MA) Music Festival (created by Rick Berlin, if you must know). Anywho... I stumbled across a half dozen or more women covering Blister in the Sun.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R-RY...eature=related

    How is it that that many women would do that? Is it... Big Hands, perhaps??
