Danceoff: The Byrds vs. Bob Dylan - Mr. Tambourine Man

While I grew up with the Byrds version, I’m going with Dylan on this danceoff. Somebody wake those dudes up, they’re sleepwalking though this song though the soundbite at the end of the video detailing the slapdown by David Crosby on the Ed Sullivan show perks them up just a tad. Wha? […]

Joe v The Beatles : She Came in Through the Bathroom Window

One is bluesy, one is rock. One has freakish arm movements, one is playing in elevators all over the world (sigh).
Who’s version of She Came in Through the Bathroom Window do you prefer? I love ya, Paul, but this one belongs to Cocker. Then again…

Dark Star Orchestra :: Jerry? Is that you?

I love the Dead as much as the next hippie chick and wasn’t looking for a replacement for our boy, Jerry.  However, Dark Star Orchestra just lit up (no jokes please) my iPod with some awesome covers.  A tribute band that can give the old days a run for their money?  Pshaww…but when you need […]

Hendrix poser or just daaaaaamn hot?

Lenny Kravitz puts me in quite a pickle. He has got to be the love child of Jimi Hendrix and that chick from the Jeffersons and while my hippie instincts tell me to stay far away — he’s too damn hot not to sneak a peek. You’ve seen my affinity for good covers, […]

It’s my last hippie post so I may as well play some Ministry

To be honest I can’t find my favorite goodbye-minded Joni song. Which of course, is a song, I’d love to share. So, how about I post the lyrics to the Joni song and play some Ministry? Sound good?

See You Sometime - this tune from Mitchell’s album For the Roses is one of my favorites. […]

Take these broken wings

I love covers. I love the original even more but sometimes a slight tweak can make a big difference to a great song or transform a mediocre song into one you can’t get out of your head (in a good way). One of my favorite songs is Blackbird by the Beatles. This […]

Herbie Hancock & Norah Jones Cover One of the Best Joni Songs Ever (Yikes)

Since September I’ve been avoiding Herbie Hancock’s River: The Joni Letters. If you read this blog ever or know me personally you know that I don’t do Joni Mitchell covers. I just plain don’t. I’ve never liked one. Recently, someone sent me a link to a video of Court & Spark from this album and […]

Have You Covered The Beatles?

Not me. As we’ve established I have zip musical talent. But if you do it’s almost a sure bet that you have, at one point, dabbled in a Beatles cover. Why, because it’s cool to cover a band you love. I myself have had many a good time listening to my more music inspired friends […]
