Case in point: This track was recorded for some sort of odd and obscure tribute album of Carpenters songs in the early nineties. This tune is pretty much what you'd expect, the typical dour take on a pop song that was all the rage a couple of decades ago. What does stand out is the uncanny way Johnette Napolitano's (Concrete Blonde) voice sounds like Karen Carpenter in places, giving off an almost eery effect that is fairly unsettling.


                damn....no joke! parts are extremely close.....

                  You know, I didn't realize who the singer was here until I looked up the band. Ty Taylor of "Rock Star:INXS" fame. Still think he got a raw deal on that show, and was a far better singer then that JD kid.

                  Like their approach.... kinda sounds like The Reverend Al Green showed up at Woodstock and booted Joe Cocker off the stage.

                      This is cool...pretty much what it would sound like if the Beatles covered Stairway To Heaven.

                          Sorry, FORD... But I can't help posting this cover of "Sharp dressed man", because of the drummer who goes hilariously weird while playing.

                            Many bands have tried to cover this song, but none have really done it justice. Except for one.....



                            ...Hell, it might be better than the Stones own live version on Flashpoint.

                              I saw the Stones in Paris in June 1990, during the tour that Flashpoint is a highlight of.
                              The band rendered the song very nicely IMO, but Mick's singing was too low, which weakened it IMO.

                              I don't think that it is the right thing to do for a band who covers another to try and sound the same, when
                              they don't try to literally impersonate the original.

                              Of course we have great examples in VH ("Where Have All the Good Times Gone", "You're No Good") of how
                              a band can grab a song and make it different, and better in addition.

                              Eric Burdon & WAR covered "Paint it Black", and if it might be a little long to stay tuned to it throughout, it is a
                              re-interpretation of the song, maybe a little too re-interpreting, but at least they don't just try to imitate the original,
                              and it brings something new and more or less (depends on how much you like it or not) pertinent to it.
