I look for one song and find aload of covers that need to be seen and heard by a wider audience. Just love that banjo.

MISS AMERICA - Sextasy (official video)
Love the rocking sound of Miss America.
Why isn't being played on UK radio?
Love it
Tamikrest - Aratan N Tinariwen (official video)
I may not known what they are singing about but at the end of the day, the music makes me feel good, I can sing along with the chorus and clap my hands. Sometimes listening to different genres from mainstream music keeps you grounded and moving in a different direction in search for that secret cord.
EZIO - SAXON STREET- (NEW) Video 1996
Wished I loved on Saxon street, but I lived on too many streets in my childhood.
"And I ask myself where am I now
And if you walked beside me
Would you realise who I was
Would you recognise me"
And if you walked beside me
Would you realise who I was
Would you recognise me"

Pink - Me
Sometimes you see an artist take a classic song and nail it, Pink nails this one and gives a fantastic performance. If I was married to her ( I wish) I would make her sing all my favorite songs .
Janis Joplin would have loved this version even though it's a Kris Kristofferson song.

Phil Lynott - Talk In '79
Phils song about the end of Punk and new wave
"The clash were headed for a head on collision
Crash for complete control
The pistols left behind a swindle and a scandal
That nobody wished to handle
Sham 69 were left in a shambles
Generation x was next"
Crash for complete control
The pistols left behind a swindle and a scandal
That nobody wished to handle
Sham 69 were left in a shambles
Generation x was next"
CASANEGRA - Ode to a black man
Fantastic cover sung with passion and conviction. Should be played in schools during black history month. Phil would have loved this version.
"If you see Malcolm tell him I'm next, vexed
If you see Jimi, Jimi Hendrix
If you see my brothers tell them it's clear
I've been living on the wrong side"
If you see Jimi, Jimi Hendrix
If you see my brothers tell them it's clear
I've been living on the wrong side"
Bloodhound Gang - The Ballad Of Chasey Lain
Love this song from way back in 2000, a bit naughty but great all the same . Rock on boys.
