Oh? Yeaaah...no.

One of the things I love about this station is Bill cover version fascination. I don’t always like them but I’m always interested to hear them.

Why? {#Stupid}
Posted 11 years ago by DaveInSaoMiguel    [ Reply ]
The original is deep in my blood. Still, I was interested to hear how they would handle the mid-song guitar freak-out....

...and the answer is....

they didn't.

Now I like this even less, since I couldn't give them any creativity points.{#Rolleyes}

A cover should at least provide a new interpretation of the original. This piece certainly does that. Unfortunately, that seem to have been the sole intent of the artists. I do not find any lift in this rendition, it falls flat. Meh.

Nice.  Never a big fan of the original, I'll admit, and so am more open to a cover version than I usually am, but I like this.

I always loved BOC's original—a propulsive, driving rocker. This lovely rendition demonstrates the strength of the song. Even without BOC's devastating arrangement, the song stands up on its own.

I dig this tune.

 I knew that I knew this song but I simply could not place it. In the end to get some piece of mind I had to log onto the web site to find out. 

I was also going to comment on how much I liked this cover but I noticed that Elphmorgan has already articulated my views exactly.

If you're going to do a cover of a record then you have to do something new or different with it or there is no point. This certainly is different.
I quite like this.

I love the original.

Covers are so much better when they don't simply copy the original (for no apparent reason other than cashing in).  This one works for me!

I take it differently...If you were really depressed, this might just lull you into suiciding by pills and drink....

I do like it though. Never thought of it being redone as a "lullaby."

I think it could use some cowbell...

Yes.  Not a bad cover at all.  I guess some people don't like their precious, Top 40, "classic rock" tunes to be dabbled with by other musicians.

If the only thing this version does is make you appreciate the original, that's ok by me. :^)

UGH. Save me. Maybe if I had never heard the original this wouldn't be so bad. Too late.

Bill and RP are keen on strange covers, and I'm happy about that!  IMHO, a band should only do a cover of a familiar song if they can add something new to the interpretation and I think Bobtown succeeds admirably with banjo and alt-bluegrass feel.  Reminiscent of Tori Amos's "Feels Like Teen Spirit" and will probably get equally divergent opinions.
'smells' like teen spirit

and the amos version....smells   .  despite the 'clever' downtempo treatment of a thrasher

Banjo, huh? I think it was Steve Martin that did a bit about how now matter what the message if you deliver it while playing banjo everyone will be happy.....not sure it applies here.

More new stuff on a Thursday! Wow! More, Bill, more! Lovely song, BTW. Evidence that a well-written song can be adapted to a multitude of arrangements.

I like it.  It's different, but yet it respects the mood of the original.
