We’re back to doing a bi-monthly cover challenge at The Recording Journey; this month’s challenge is You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC. Here’s my version – someone commented that it reminded them of Devo’s cover of (Can’t Get No) Satisfaction by the Stones, and that was sort of my final intent. I didn’t […]

A new cover song – “The Wind Cries Mary” by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. I was getting a massage, listening to a classic rock station, and this song came on. My sis bought this album when it came out and I’ve heard the song lots of times over the years. It dawned on me that […]

New cover song – “We Just Disagree” by Dave Mason. Dave Mason was my first concert – I was an early admissions student at the U of Delaware as part of their then-new Freshman Honors Program and they bussed us up to the main campus for the event. This song helped me through breakups and […]

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).

So as I was finishing the campfire version, I suddenly heard an almost speed metal version in my head and I had to do it. And so, here it is. Standard instrumentation of drums/bass/2 guitars/organ and vocals. Hope you like it – feel free to comment or even follow me over on SoundCloud if you […]

This month’s cover song is (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, […]
