I saw The Skids a couple of years back, some great new stuff as well as the old faves. I told RJ that I was a fan but he talked too much b’locks on Twitter. He laughed Stuart Adamson was a superb musician. I loved the stuff he did with Big Country. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit where she pushes her top away to reveal more shoulder gave it away and should have been edited out. It's about the image for her above the music.

my missus Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 she does a version of "comfortably numb" which she aborts halfway through because her fans didn't know it.

Josef K Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Tin Tin Out did a horrendous cover version of “The Sundays - Here’s Where The Story End’s”. I cringe every time i hear that cover, i don’t know how they were allowed to get away with it. The Sundays were a fantastic band and Harriet Wheeler had a beautiful voice, she may still have as well.

Cumbrian Fanatic Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Not a cover version as such, more of a re-write, but possibly quite apt in the current times, especially as it has the blessing of the remaining members of The Clash 100% League 0% Union Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxford Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) I was thinking about what makes a great version: different voice, arrangement the change from acoustic to electric and vice versa, up or down in tempo? I was listening to the several versions I have of a couple of Richard Thompson's the Dimming of the Day and Beeswing and in these hardly anything changes except the voice. I also have an album of covers of Van the Angry Man songs and some of those are a complete disaster in almost every respect. The post above with He'll Have to Go is probably the best version of that because all the others I've heard have been just syrup in the studio. Talking Ry Cooder and Chickenskin, his version of I Got Mine rates with people like Pink Anderson And Bourgois Blues is a gem! And, on the whole, I prefer Half the World Away slowed down and acoustic and always the Holiday interpretation to the Fitzgerald renditions though I'm happy to listen to both. And I think I'm no clearer on this issue than when I started typing. But how do you even approach this ? (and it's been tried!)
