glitch25I 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.. :-)
One of my first encounters with covers of it was a band that sampled the baseline and did things on top. US3 created this and called it Cantaloop!
Bidi bidi bop!
This lead to me digging including finding THIS version covering the original version in Latin band instrumentation.
and now I want to learn to dance to this. Think I have a sweetie or two I need to go drag off to the dance floor. :-)
