RE: Unusual Covers - King Bob - 12-08-2021
Funny, I was listening to some Tom Waits yesterday. But that's a song from after I stopped following his work. Fits perfectly.

I think my last Waits album was Bone Machine.

I'm a Swordfish Trombones guy. Another Sucker from the Vine is the opening them to the Norman Bates Memorial Soundtrack Show on KFJC.
Although "Chocolate Jesus" from Mule Variations is a favorite ("when it's whiskey in the shade" is a great line...)

My favorites are
"Hang On Saint Christopher" from Frank's Wild Years
and "Tom Traubert's Blues" from Small Change (love the incorporation of "Waltzing Mathilda")

You know, I am of the heretical opinion that Sly and Robbie are much better at playing funk than reggae. To me their reggae groove is a bit stiff. It's why I never liked Black Uhuru very much. I think their best work is with Grace Jones.

SO MUCH BLASPHEMY IN THAT POST!
Sly & Robbie RULE!
I LUV Black Uhuru.
I respect Grace but I confess I don’t know her stuff very well. Her videos traumatized me as a youth.
I’ve said it before but Sinead’s reggae album is one of my desert island discs. It’s one of the greatest reggae albums ever.

Since there's been so much Beatles talk lately:
And my favorite Grace Jones song (cover of Flash and the Pan) with some great playing by Sly and Robbie:
RE: Unusual Covers - Greg - 12-09-2021
I think the only Grace Jones song I know is her cover of the Police's "Demolition Man"

You don't remember "Pull Up to the Bumper?" (and park it in between)

I stand by my statement

Mr. Sting performs Murder By Numbers with Frank Zappa and band...

The fun begins at the 5min mark.
Paul Williams doing For the Benefit of Mr. Kite is particularly creepy.

And in the spirit of this thread, along with remembering Robbie Shakespeare...
Christmas Wrapping - Greg - 12-22-2021
This was my favorite Christmas song for awhile but I overplayed it. And what is Kylie Minogue wearing on her head?
