First post and all that. Rather exciting. Let's jump straight to it, shall we?
California Gutiar Trio- The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. California Guitar Trio are one of my favorite groups. They formed out of Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft courses of the early 90's and have been playing together ever since. Their latest album, Echoes is made up entirely of covers. Here is a track, not from the album, but from their gig at the famous Freight and Salvage club on their latest tour.
Tony Levin Band-Back in New York City. Continuing the Fripp connection is the Tony Levin Band. Tony Levin, if you don't already know, has played with just about everybody under the sun including Paul Simon, King Crimson, Yes, Alice Cooper, and even the California Guitar Trio. Here, his touring band plays a song done by his boss, Peter Gabriel back when he was with Genesis with Jerry Marotta, drummer extraordinaire, on lead vocals. Off the album Double Espresso
Peter Sellers-Help. Does this count as a cover? Shall we say a dramatic recitation? Amusing, anyhow.
Bela Fleck and Chick Corea-Brazil. More properly known as The Watercolor of Brazil and written by Ary Barroso in 1939. This version comes from Fleck and Corea's superb album, The Enchanted. The album itself is quite a good blending of their different styles and this track is one of highlights.
Keller Williams and the Keels-Mary Jane's Last Breakdown. Generally, Keller performs as a one man band, but here he is joined by husband and wife duo Larry and Jenny Keel. The resulting album, Grass, is a little dissapointing because it features few of the typical Keller trademarks. As an experiment, it is a flawed one but does result in a gem or two. This is, of course, a mash up of two Tom Petty tunes done in such a way that makes you wonder why it had never been done before.
