Just a little loop in my canta. :-)
Jan. 18th, 2013 09:53 amI have always had a fascination with musical covers. Generally I like them when they stretch the genre, or even when they fall into whole other genres.
Hayseed Dixie falls into this class. I always imagine them sitting next to Tickle from Moonshiners somewhere in Florida sucking on a jar of his finest.
Sometimes, I'll obsess on a tune, and go hunting for covers of it specifically. That tends to be interesting.
Lately, I did that with a tune called Cantaloupe Island by Herbie Hancock. For those at least dip a toe in the jazz world, you may recognize it out of this version where Herbie does what Herbie does.. :-)
( More covers here! )
