For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield (Cover by Del McCoury Band and friends)
 
One more for today, I love this woman's energy and creativity. If so inclined check out her work, very diversified but bluegrass oriented with wonderful deviations now and again.

My current new fav pop music tune. STRONG female vocals from Elle King, actor/comedian Rob Schneider's daughter btw, of pop hit "X's and O's" fame

I've got this playlist on spotify that I really enjoy. It's all country music, underground rap, and modern hipster folkie music.
I like all these genres for exactly the same reason.
 
Still Corners "The Trip"



Lyrics:
Time has come to go
Pack your bags, hit the open road
Our hearts just won’t die
It’s the trip, keeps us alive
So many miles
So many miles
So many miles
Away
They’re following some dance of light
Tearing into the night
Watching you fall asleep
The sweetest dove in a dream
So many miles
So many miles
So many miles
Away
 
Back here after a long spell but I'm still listening to country music from the U.S and Australia.
being from Oz, I'm enjoying Aussie country music singer/songwriters like Christie Lamb, Viper Creek band and Jasmine Rae. Google is your friend.
 
Townes Van Zandt - Highway Kind



Lyrics
My days, they are the highway kind
They only come to leave
But the leavin' I don't mind
It's the comin' that I crave.
Pour the sun upon the ground
Stand to throw a shadow
Watch it grow into a night
And fill the spinnin' sky.

Time among the pine trees
It felt like breath of air
Usually I just walk these streets
And tell myself to care.
Sometimes I believe me
And sometimes I don't hear.
Sometimes the shape I'm in
Won't let me go.

Well, I don't know too much for true
But my heart knows how to pound
My legs know how to love someone
My voice knows how to sound.
Shame that it's not enough
Shame that it is a shame.
Follow the circle down
Where would you be?

You're the only one I want now
I never heard your name.
Let's hope we meet some day
If we don't it's all the same.
I'll meet the ones between us,
And be thinkin' 'bout you
And all the places I have seen
And why you were not there.
 
@rokguy
I checked out your music selections and while we have different tastes there, I am admirer of your stone craftsmanship, impressive work.
 
Today's been a Volbeat, Tool, and Flaw day.







With a lil Perfect Circle thrown in. This is quite possibly the darkest cover of "Imagine."

I’m listening to the ticking of the clock and contemplating the meaning of time.
 
@AMGS3

Thanks for the Flaw link. I've always appreciate the work of Perfect Circle and Tool but Flaw was new to me. "Best I Am" won me over.

I must say, though, that cover of Imagine by tool...holy moley, that cover was...creative, but only on certain days when I'm sure the whole world sucks would that work for me. I get it, though.

Yeah it's pretty intense. Of all the songs on that album, it's definitely the darkest. It's amazing to me that a song with identical lyrics can have almost the opposite feeling when performed by someone else. Some covers change meaning because the new artist(s) actually change the words. A Perfect Circle didn't touch the lyrics at all. When I first heard their cover of Imagine (and really anything of the band) was on their album Emotive. I instantly loved it. There are a lot of protest song covers on that album. Here's their version of "Peace Love & Understanding." It's delicate and fragile sounding compared to Imagine.

If you like Dire Straits/Knopflers stuff, this is a gem most non-audiophiles are unaware of.
Through YT, the dynamic range will not be like it sounds off a nice Linn table...but give it a listen...especially, IMO, from the third song on.
As you listen, you may realize it is more "lost Knopfler" than anything else.
Willy died of cancer a while back, but his tragic life and obvious talent in Both his solo stuff and Mink Deville...legendary zydeco influenced fusion funk...left us some epic music. (Peace be upon him.)
