I Do It Cover To Cover

I started this group on EP so I consider it my duty(salutes flag) to post something here. Just two versions of an old Lou Reed song.I saw Lou in NY some time ago and talked to two of the band in the cold Manhattan air.Lou is probably as venerated by musicians as much as he is ignored by the corporate mainstream radio.
This may be his most known song after.Walk on the Wild Side.
I think this was produced by David Bowie,Sweet Jane by Mott,the Hoople

The Cowboy Junkies are a Canadian alternative band who covered the tune in the 90s,in Thee Trinity Session.As the name implies it was recorded in a church,with one microphone. If so many female singers had not subsequently adopted the "I'm on downers"-suicidal vocal style I might appreciate the quality of Margo Timmins fine voice more

@Soossie: If you don't show we'll cry havoc and let slip the hounds! :O

Soossie

ugh!!! lol

Soossie

Ok... before anything I liked both versions (first one better)

Then, the version by Moot reminds me of Bob Dylan...

I'm glad I didn't have to cry havoc!...and that "hounds thing" :)
I'm pondering the Dylan comparison but I love that song

Some people like to go out dancing
And other people, (like us) they gotta work
And there's always some evil mothers
They'll tell you life is full of dirt.
And the women never really faint,
And the villans always blink their eyes.
And the children are the only ones who blush.
'Cause life is just to die.
But, anyone who has a heart
Wouldn't want to turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played the part
He wouldn't want to turn around and fake it

Soossie

@bookerdana: so you like Dylon!!

bookerdana · M

I DO and you'd probably STONE me if I didn't...
Well, they’ll stone you when you walk all alone
They’ll stone you when you are walking home
They’ll stone you and then say you are brave
They’ll stone you when you are set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Tey don't have the original up on youtube,blasphemy *stones youtube*

Soossie

Are you Stoned ??

bookerdana · M

I've been..*rocks hurled at poor books..
When "they" stone you it isn't half as much fun
