    Duke Ellington wrote what became a standard in 1935:


    He reinvented himself and the song in 1953:


    Then teamed up with Ella to created a brilliant vocal version in 1957:


    and finally teamed up with Coltrane to create the best version 1962 (the new piano riff that opens the song is as good as it gets in any genre):

    Better? Arguable. Does the song justice with his own spin and style? Absolutely.

    T-Pain.

    War Pigs.


    Who knew?

    They covered "Eulogy" by Tool last week, was super cool (but no video of it, yet).

    A standard folk ballad written by Richard Thompson


    It’s been covered a bunch, always with the melodic folksy bluegrassy vibe of the original

    Until Sean Rowe does it with feeling


    That duct tape on his guitar covers cracks from his strumming

    That's a great cover. I think he captures what the song is about, it's not a folksy bluegrass tune (though that is how it is covered).

    Really highlights how fucking incredible RT is as a guitarist, it's the fingerpicking that makes the original seem folksy. But nobody can match RT's playing (not a criticism of the fine playing by Mr. Rowe above).

    ^^^yeah somebody described Rowe’s style as “raw and dirty” - in a good way.

    I have to agree - he harnesses that raw grit of a born-to-lose boy and bad girl

    I’ve heard RT do this live - agreed his finger picking is amazing and his lyrics like this and say “Dads gonna kill me” brings out the emotion, but it’s a calmer kind of rage… it’s that Fairport Convention background I guess

    Maybe? Posted in the other song thread a couple of weeks ago, realized I (maybe) should have posted it here.

    Bonnie Paine is her name, and yeah, she's got a real interesting and unique style. I don't know her exact age, but she's not very young, probably late 30s.
