mix tape: Beatles covers
Apr 21st 2008retroDanmusic & the music vault
how about some fun Beatles covers for today’s edition of the Retroblog mix tape.
Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs - And Your Bird can Sing : With the splendid guitar riff and wonderful harmonies, you simply can’t go wrong with covering this song.
the Smithereens - Hold Me Tight : from their 2007 Beatles cover album - Meet the Smithereens. the whole album is fun to listen to every now and then.
Sara Gazarek - Junk : sorta counts as a Beatles cover since Paul McCartney worked on an early version of this song during the filming of Let it Be. Garzarek performs a nice lounge version of it here.
Todd Rundgren - While My Guitar Gently Weeps : It simply isn’t a Retroblog mix tape without me trying to insert Rundgren somewhere. here he is performing a searing guitar solo at the end of the track. lovely.
Laurence Juber - Oh Darling : yup, an ex-Wings member doing a Beatles cover. it’s actually pretty good. Juber shows off his acoustic guitar chops here with an instrumental version of one of my all time favorite Beatles song.
Paul McCartney - P.S. Love Me Do : yes, even old sir Macca can’t help but do a Beatles cover. actually a re-recorded “mash-up” of P.S. I Love You/Love Me Do! It’s a rare late 80’s track that is absolutely CRINGE-Tastic!!
enjoy!
