AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Until reminded by the local (So.Ala.) radio station, I just plumb forgot (poor,poor, pitiful me) that (for the procrastinators amongst us) this is tax day. Seems worthy of commemoration and also gives me a chance to remember (such an excitable boy) a trooper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you sir. Hadn't realized it'd been covered. When I looked up the Panic, I found a Hank Williams Jr. (w./ less fidelity) as well.

AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) a la others (e.g. Carole King, John Denver, etc.) Mr. Nelson had a long and productive career as a writer before he hit it as a performer. A brief retrospective is presented (I was surprised as hell to find so many of the album cuts represented in a youtube version). ETA - Is it proper to call it "covering" if it's your own stuff?

Pretty sure it's not doable. I'm inclined to agree. There are some "metal" and "punk" covers out there, but that just isn't an angry melody and it can't be made into one. About the only thing you could do is have a little girl sing it a capella and slow it way down to try and make it sound creepy in the current fashion of horror movie trailers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger12 46 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Not really a specific band, but I have been on a specific genre kick lately. I am a classic rock guy for the most part, but lately my radio has been staying on Sirius/XM's Prime Country (80s & 90s) with a smattering of Outlaw Country thrown in for good measure. I have no clue what got me started except maybe my subconscious is longing for something else from my teenage and early 20s years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside - Refuge, local (So.Ala.) radio is abuzz w./imminent arrival (6 May) of your buddy (Sturgell Simpson) at Orange Beach. Alas, the Grad School in TTown has made it mandatory that I dress up funny and walk for this degree (my 1st walk since HS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Album was a birthday gift from a co-worker, and it’s the thought that counts. A reggae band, with an obese Elvis-impersonator front man, covering Zeppelin. What could possibly go wrong? Must admit, never bothered to chase them down live.

Clearly yours aren't as properly aligned as those of Elvis impersonators doing reggae covers of Led Zeppelin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
