The Indigo Girls have been performing cover songs in concert throughout their career; here are a few of their best.
The threads that entwine early country music and American folk music are clear and bright in the folkways. Early country came from folk, coupled with other Southern strands that would lead to the blues; before the folk-revival canonization of radio and festival genres in the 50s and 60s, the folk community welcomed country artists as their own. But although it is common for modern folk musicians to pay tribute to the early blues and country songs of depression-era radio, to certain subgenres such as outlaw country, and to the crossover songs and songwriters of the [...]
A great country singer has died. I first heard this track covered by Elvis Costello - very well, I thought. But this sounds majestic and the two voices go well together. He did write a lot of the songs he recorded but this was written by Jerry Chesnut.
The Cover Me staff talk about their favorite cover songs in this new feature.
Today we look at Return of the Grievous Angel: A Tribute to Gram Parsons, one of the heavy influences on "No Depression" music, or what he called "Cosmic American."
I was pretty much off the media grid on Monday when the bombs exploded in Boston. I had the day off and was in the middle of a viewing of Louis Malle's The Lovers. TheWife" called from work to inform me of the unfolding situation, and to express concern for her older son (known around here as Stepson #1) because [...]
En 2009, a 30 años del "reinado del terror" de Margaret Thatcher, la revista británica UNCUT revisitó este período tempestivo de la historia británico desde el ángulo de opinión de gente de rock como Paul Weller, The Specials, The Beat, UB40, Soul II Soul y The Farm.
El pasado 8 de abril, la ex primer ministro británica Margaret Thatcher falleció a los 87 años de edad. Tras ella, dejó un reguero de sentimientos encontrados. Por un lado, estuvieron aquellos que celebraron su vida y obra, mientras que otros, celebraron su muerte. Estas reacciones también se vieron del lado del mundo de la música: la ex chica Spice Geri Halliwell tomó su cuenta de Twitter para declarar: “Pensando en nuestra primera Lady of Power , Margaret Thatcher, la hija de un verdulero que me enseñó que todo es posible”. Por otro [...]
El lunes pasado, Margaret Thatcher una de las figuras más icónicas de la política moderna falleció, a lo 87años, abrazada por una muerte peculiar como lo fue su vida política: víctima de un derrame cerebral en una de las habitaciones del Hotel Ritz de Londres. Ésta mujer, de una personalidad más bien obstinada dotó de polémica a la situación política de la Gran Bretaña en los últimos 35 años, además de una condición dividisoria que oscilaba en las dualidades: entre la simpatía y el odio, la admiración y el repudio, resultado quizás, de que la división fuera uno de los [...]
As much as you mofo's in the UK are celebrating The Grand Dame's demise, it means jack shit to me. Guess what- in the Olympics of asshole rulers of the free world (1980-2013 division), she doesn't even win the bronze. Here in the States alone we've had Reagan and Dubya. You're guyz have had Blair. Maggie ain't squeezin' into that triad. So she invaded an island full of Penguins? Hell, at least she didn't go toe to toe with the Russkies or an entire religion! Besides, think of all the great songs that you [...]
Elvis Costello/John Harle : When That I was & A Tiny Little Boy [ purchase (full album on vinyl?) ] Elvis Costello has on more than one occasion worked Shakespeare into his music, in fact, he did a whole album in 1993, named the Juliet Letters, whose concept revolved around sending letters to Juliet (of R& J fame) to the sounds [...]
Six years after Vampire Weekend set the indie blogosphere on fire with the Afro-syncopated prepster-pop of their self-tiled debut, the band is set to release its third album, Modern Vampires of the City . Now, you can hear the album's first two tracks, "Diane Young" and "Step," which find the Ivy League foursome sounding more confident and mature than ever. Sonically, the band still seems to take plenty of cues from Graceland , but "Diane Young" also features the musical aesthetics of a harder-charging brand of Elvis Costello-esque [...]
Elvis Costello and The Imposters have announced an East Anglian concert for the summer. This is the sixth and final headline act confirmed to appear in Thetford Forest as part of Forest Live , organised by the Forestry Commission , where an eclectic mix of acts perform in spectacular woodland locations around the country. Elvis Costello is considered to be one of the most important singer-songwriters to surface from the punk/New Wave era. With absorbing lyrics and memorable tunes set to his distinctive vocal, he has generated a [...]
I received a message from Stuarto requesting I cover his show in the late afternoon hours of Friday, March 8. After a minute or two to think about it, I agreed. In all the times I've covered for his show over the past year and a half, I have never done a show that gives a nod to his show, which often features more mainstream music including a handful of tunes from the 60s and 70s. For March 8, I decided this needed to change. I pieced together quite the show for the first two [...]
Last night, a motley crew of stage and screen stars paid tribute to newly resurgent pop legend Prince at NYC's Carnegie Hall. Among the performers: D'Angelo, the Waterboys, Elvis Costello, Chris Rock, Maya Rudolph, Talib Kweli, Sandra Bernhard, Nina Persson (the Cardigans), the Blind Boys Of Alabama, Betty Lavette, and Fred Armisen, who has played the Purple One on SNL for almost a decade.

LaVette covered "Kiss," Waterboys did "Purple Rain," D'Angelo sung "It's Going To Be A Beautiful Night," [...]
