Under The Covers Volume Six
Where to start on the highlights on this episode?
The Textones' Dylan cover is great, I love the Nervous Eaters track, Cheap Trick is a classic fave, Tomorrow is a great band, but this isn’t the best track on the album, I loves me some Bangles, and I’m not sure I’ve ever hear a King Crimson cover before, but this one is pretty cool, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart (head?) for George Thorogood’s boogie, and God help me, but I really like the Power Station (and not ironically).
The lowlights?
There’s no reason to listen to the original Stairway, so a solo guitar version doesn’t really excite, I’m not sure what Winger was thinking taking on Hendrix (Devo pulls it off by going “out”), and Bobby McFerrin needs to hire a band (maybe a duet with Stanley Jordan?).
The meh?
The Tin Huey track is OK, but the rest of the album is better, the Collins is the kind of inoffensive pap that he does so well (but he deserves a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the drum fill in In The Air Tonight), and does the world really need an additional cover of Steppin’ Stone?
And I go back and forth on whether the Manowar track is brilliant or awful (it usually depends on how much coffee I’ve had at the time).
