Junk Drawer
Hey kids, it's No Theme Week! Let's get right to it.

Betty Dylan "Brand New Key" (Melanie)
My good friend George Blowfish sent me this one. I had never heard of Betty Dylan before, but I'm a believer now. Great guitar riffing.

The Waco Brothers "The Harder They Come" (Jimmy Cliff)
Turning reggae songs into two-fisted rockers is a Good Thing.

Big Daddy "Graceland" (Paul Simon)
I first heard of Big Daddy when they covered "Eye of the Tiger" as a doo-wop tune. Uncle Flakey turned me on to this one and I think the song works much better with the faux Elvis arrangement

The Lost Prophets "Cry Me A River" (Justin Timberlake)
Being an old fart, Justin Timberlake was pretty much off my radar until "Dick In A Box" became unavoidable. You'll need to stick with this one for a minute or two. It starts out sounding much like the original, but then the guitars come roaring in.

Ben Folds Five "She Don't Use Jelly" (Flaming Lips)
I just can't resist a good cha-cha. It's a deep-seated character flaw.

Betty Dylan/Johnny Cash

From Coverfreak.com:

Johnny Cash Part Deux
As promised, this week we have various artists covering Johnny Cash songs.

Betty Dylan "Folsom Prison Blues"
I'm really digging Betty Dylan lately. I just love the part where he tells us what it was like to shoot a man in Reno.

Jawbone "Get Rhythm"
Johnny must have sounded like this when he was wired on that trucker speed. Guaranteed to get your blood flowing.

Beat Farmers "Big River"
The sound quality isn't the best, but what the heck. This is from Live At The Spring Valley Inn. The CD is drawn from live recordings intended for a demo to get a record deal.

I still miss Country Dick Montana. The man was fierce, fearless, and stinking drunk. I want to be like him when I grow up.

Pine Valley Cosmonauts "Sunday Morning Coming Down"
I recently gifted my audience with the Telly Savalas version of this song. This is what it sounds like when it's played well.

Neko Case "Wayfaring Stranger"
Update: Alert Reader John informs me that this recording is taken from Irene Trudel's WMFU show.

I don't like Neko Case. Not personally, of course. I'm sure she's a very nice person. But her music does absolutely nothing for me. People tell me I'm supposed to like her. I've tried to like her. I want to like her. I've bought her music and paid to hear her perform live. But her music leaves me completely cold.

This is the only thing she's ever done that I've enjoyed. I think it's because of Jon Rauhouse's banjo playing. The arrangement is very spare and lovely. It sounds like it was recorded for a radio show, but I have no information on where it came from.
