Cool. I think you've shared this one before, but it was nice to watch it again. It reminds me of Raimudo Amador & Juan Louis in this live video that I’ve shared before.

Speaking of great covers.... Chris Cornell's (Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog).... ... cover of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean (from an MSN special presentation). Stellar. I love how the song's tragic lyrics are conveyed. Here is a solo acoustic version of that, of which an audio version was provided me by my Misfit cohort Billi. Thanx!!! This is likely a more intense emotional version of the cover. (video is actually a slow slideshow) And, yes, when I listen to it, I always do go "heeee - eeeehheeee " ;D And Chris here live covering Elvis Costello's Peace Love and Understanding So if you liked any of these, then Thank You bonus:: I like his cover here too (obviously done many times be very many) of Redemption Song. Most these acoustics are featured from a 13-track Sweden acoustic performance available as a mp3 download all over the net. As well, because of its rave and popularity, MTV has received petition for to arrange a similar Cornell MTV Unplugged. No word yet on that.

His latest solo production, "Carry On"was already released in June. Yes, it carries the electric version of Billie Jean. However, being I'm a big fan of his, I must admit I do not have the album, and judging by the samplers alone, it is only slightly more impressive than his last solo delivery, Euphoria Morning ('99). For a solo/acoustic masterpiece, what you want is this acoustic session recorded in Sweden. enjoy

It’s Oh So Quiet "It's oh so quiet" was written by Hans Lang and Bert Reisfeld and performed by Betty Hutton (Elizabeth June Thornburg, 1921-2007) during the 1940s. The original title was "Blow a fuse".

A few videos of artists/music that I love that are as far removed from country, bluegrass or op/ rock as it gets. I love that too of course, but why be predictable? ;D So - I don't know if you will enjoy these, but I hope there is someone out there who does. Anne-Sophie Mutter, one of the very best violinists of the last 30 years or so plays the third movement from Beethoven's violin concerto. Conductor is the legendary Herbert Von Karajan. Arguably the most exciting early rocker of them all, Jerry Lee Lewis. Elvis looks and sounds like a choirboy compared to this guy. I know that some of you are probably allergic to opera, but in my very modest opinion this lady may very well have the most beautiful voice in the world today. Listen without prejudice... The funkiest man in history.... Another operatic soprano I adore the great Kiri Te Kanawa...

I remember reading something about that, yes. Didn't know it was Schoenberg though. That's a very challenging composer and definitely not one to recommend to someone who's not used to listening to classical music. Kudos to Bjork, it's very courageous of her to take this on. But Bjork is a very adventurous artist, so in that regard it doesn't come as a surprise.

I've heard that story before. I hadn't heard the "Careless Whisper" part.......heehee. I have that song in one of my "cheat sheet" songbooks and have played it before. *snicker*

(But the "Killer" certainly isn't far removed from Country!): Here's one of his forerunners and influences - Moon Mullican (Warning: some of the language is politically incorrect, and may be offensive to some)

From when was that? Yeah, Jerry Lee Lewis isn't that far removed from country. In fact he did much pure country besides his rock'n'roll music. But I reckoned it would be best to put something like that between all that classical stuff.

That's from 1951 - the style is "Hillbilly boogie", important in the development of Rockabilly (though classic Rockabilly is mainly a string band style)

I always thought that boogie woogie was mostly a black type of music, but I guess that all those styles are related and that everybody influenced everybody else.(?)
