Yesterday at work, the muzak had a song that intrigued me.

It was a cover of the Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams”. They traded the synthesizer for a xylophone, and gave it sort of a Calypso feel. If they had hired a better singer, it might have been good.

That was probably by Senor Coconut. Find it on YoutTube.

Yet another cover of “All Along The Watchtower”, by the late great Michael Hedges

Michael Hedges - All Along the Watchtower

@blondebear

the late great Michael Hedges

"Hedges’ body was found at the bottom of an embankment around
11:30 a.m. Tuesday just off State Route 128, approximately 100
miles northwest of San Francisco, according to Lt. Kevin
Broin of the Mendocino County coroner’s office. Road
construction workers discovered Hedges’ body, which was thrown from
his 1986 BMW, and reported the crash to the California Highway
Patrol. Authorities speculate that the crash occurred days
earlier.

The car appeared to have skidded off a slick, curvy road, slid
down the embankment and flipped over, ejecting Hedges in the
process. The guitarist apparently died from internal injuries."

Ouch. And so sad.

Was this it:

Nope, the version I heard had a single female singer (whose English had an American accent), and a much simpler background band. A xylophone was the predominant instrument.

Yeah, if it was his version of “As The Crow Flies” on his “Irish Tour” album, I totally concur. Rory was a master of both acoustic and electric blues guitar, and one of he best blues guitar players ever. I would rank him even above Clapton. Look out for his live albums, and the three CDs compilation “Blues”, because on his studio albums he often was forced by the suits to record generic rock music, and they mostly sounded sterile. But he was an exceptional player whenever he played the blues.

Oh yeah, the live version for sure!

Some performers, some bands just seem to shine live. They can spend months in the studio polishing a song, but it’s not until they’re touring with it that it reaches its pinnacle. Rory had something that was good in the studio, but amazing in a live setting. Chuck Prophet’s another one of these. The studio version of, “Doubter out of Jesus” is kind of, no pun intended, lifeless, but his performance on Letterman(posted on Youtube) takes it to the next level. Even his club performances are like this. Youtube has been incredible for seeing performers live, as I’m old enough to remember when The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert were your best way to see live music, back when we had 3 channels to choose from.
