Cover of Nina Simone’s Feeling Good

This month’s cover challenge song is Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good.” Someone posted that The mental image I have when I hear this is of a dark smoky bar filled with alien creatures who are watching a fembot perform this tune on stage in the style of “Cowboy Bebop” (original animated series). Which is nice since […]

Campfire cover of (What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding

So this is my campfire version – Aviva said she’d track vocals and then wimped out, so the vocals are multiple tracks of me. There’s acoustic bass and guitar, bongos, vocals and claps. I hope to finish another very different version soon, […]

Cover of Wicked Game by Chris Isaac

This month’s cover challenge is Wicked Game. The runner up in the voting was Nothing Compares 2 U and I preferred that one. As I was falling asleep the night the voting ended, I thought about using a riff similar to I Can’t Stand the Rain with Nothing Compares 2 U, and then I realized […]
