While many people's knowledge about Peter Frampton starts and ends with his 1976 double-live album Frampton Comes Alive , the guitar-player has been impressing audiences since the age of 18, when he was a founding member of the blues-rock act Humble Pie. This summer Frampton will put his guitar playing on display as he's lined up an impressive package toured dubbed Frampton's Guitar Circus. Joining Frampton at various stops in the support slot on the lengthy summer run is a meaty [...]

The Cover Me staff talk about their favorite cover songs in this new feature.
Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" New Wave had fully infiltrated the top of the singles charts by the time 1979 had rolled around. Here are the Top 10 Rock Hits of 1979, guaranteed to inspire the return of skinny ties. 10. Fleetwood Mac - "Tusk" Actually one of the few songs to make the Top 10 that wasn't from the world of New Wave. Though people dancing around with tubas is a touch punky, don't you think? http://youtu.be/cma0uziW8DE [...]
T he art of the cover song is one all musicians have practiced at some point in their lives, some just stick with us more than others. 2012 was filled with fantastic covers, but after a very *ahem* scientific study, the ones below were last year's stand outs. In our minds and hearts anyway... 1. Heart of Mine (Bob Dylan) Blake Mills, Danielle Haim and Taylor Goldsmith | Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Click here to view the embedded [...]

Good tunes for good causes, with great source material. If nothing else, Lowe Country, the third Nick Lowe tribute album in 11 years (incidentally, the same number of full-lengths the man himself has released in that time) proves one thing: a wide range of artists love all eras of the man's art -- from Brinsley Schwarz and New Wave to the mellower Brentford Trilogy -- and want to honor him. Most of the artists here are singer-songwriter types, which is to say, natural Lowe...
While listening to Nick Lowe 's greatest-hits reboot Quiet Please: The New Best Of Nick Lowe , we stumbled across a serious gem from the singer-songwriter's earlier days. Culled from his Bowi EP , the track "Endless Sleep" is a bulletproof example of the man at his very best. Unlike much of his early work, the track is subtle in delivery, and eschews the pub-rock machinations of his hit records at the time. Instead, the track is a subtle build-up centered around a reverb-laden guitar and a pulsing bass drum. Combine that [...]
Ultravox: “Brilliant” On this, the most aptly titled album of the year, synthpop gods Ultravox return with their best CD since “Quartet.” Songs vacillate from groove-heavy dance tracks to tear-enducing ballads all showing singer Midge Ure's voice is in fine form. The only bad news is the CD has not been released in America yet, but Amazon.com has it as an import and yes, it is worth spending the extra cash. Pet Shop Boys: “Elysium” The first two albums [...]

"It makes no difference if you're rich or poor, or if you're smart or dumb..." Sandy Posey's country-flavored '66 hit version of Born A Woman - penned by the rather mysterious Martha Sharpe - will always remain the ultimate interpretation for me. Nick Lowe's rocking gender bender of sorts from '77, which incidentally I was familiar with long before I even realised it was a cover, comes a close second though. "A woman's place in this old world, is under some man's thumb..." Sandy Posey - Born A Woman Nick Lowe - [...]
