Based on a conversation with my best friend last night and subsequent article that I read upon his recommendation, I felt compelled to share some of the best covers that I have heard. I wanted to identify cover songs that create a new sonic experience that often confuses the listener to whom the song should originally be attributed to. Common examples that come to mind are Jimi Hendrix classic rendition of Bob Dylan’s “Along the Watchtower,” and Johnny Cash’s iconic cover of Nine Inch Nails opus “Hurt,” which I would have preferred to put in the top slot.

The following twenty covers re-imagine and recreate the original songs. In many cases, they reinvent the songs and the new versions make them listenable music. Continue reading →

Blue Lines Blog – On the road, as my niece gets married

25 Saturday Sep 2010

and Frou Frou, Björk, bus, Cat Power, Damien Rice, GSU Panthers, iPod, North Carolina, Raleigh

As I’m riding to the airport from Campbell University, my thoughts center on my niece making another transition in her life.

It’s funny that as the North Carolina (Blue Lines territory) countryside and farms pass by my window, songs by Bjork, Cat Power, and Frou Frou, Damien Rice play from my iPod.

I do look back, at my life in sports, and though my game may not be on the field, I wonder what I have missed. Scheduling conflicts, and the such have postponed, eliminated, or cut short my attendance at events, holidays or occasions. But, right now it is what I do, and chose to hone my craft, which I enjoy. However, this is an event I will not be able to say I attended for my family.

As pensive as this trip is, I hope, pray, and want the best for my niece and soon-to-be Husband.
Lexi girl, I love and if you ever need anything I’m here.
