Is it a cover if it’s the same artist revisiting material under a different name?

I was watching Top 10 on AxsTV, turns out Lynda Carter has a singing career.

I also learned Gary Burghoff was in a band with Lynda in the late 60s, I knew he played the drums but I never knew about their band.

Here’s a medley of covers. Warning, it’s not that good but hey, it’s Lynda Carter.

Wow. A lot that I was expecting to see, but here are some more obscure ones.

Richard Thompson covering Joni’s “Woodstock”

And “Oops, I did it again” !

June Tabor and Oysterband “Love Will Tear Us Apart”

Steeleye Span “Rave On”

Juice Newton “Angel of the Morning”

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes “Goodbye Earl”

That’ll do, for now.

Wow.

One of the tricky parts of Kashmir is:

  • the guitar and strings are playing in 3/4.
  • the bass and drums are in 4/4.

So every 4 bars, the drums and guitar roll through a cycle that starts with the drums and guitar both landing on a solid beat at same time, and they roll in and out of sync. You can hear it clearly at the beginning: listen for where his thumb whacks the guitar vs where the leading strums land.

Once you hear it, it’s the auditory equivalent of an optical illusion, and one person playing it on one instrument has me pretty damn impressed.

Pretty cool, right?

PMJ shows up in my life fairly often, and I’m quite happy about that. When the kids need motivation in the morning, I’ll sometimes play PMJ’s cover of “Umbrella”.

ETA: Just remembered what thread this is. I’d better provide the link. :slight_smile:
