You know that cover of “Somewhere” by Tom Waits horrifies some non-musical types, like my sister-in-law. She’s the type who rarely buys or listens to music but claims to love Opera and Classical Music but in fact couldn’t name you anything but Nessum Dorma and a couple of tunes from Les Miserables.
I played that version by Tom Waits and of course she was mortally offended by it. It’s a fucking brilliant rendition, a heartfelt, moving version that will be realised as such but the true music lover…
Let’s here it again.
I rather enjoyed that, Balti Stench. Obviously it would have to go a very long way to match the original by Little Marti and his Wet Boys*, but it wasn’t bad at all.
* Fear not, I do know that it’s originally by Reg and the boys - Swindon’s finest.

Time for another bump. Here’s Frank and his boys (notably Jean-Luc Ponty), reinterpreting Little Richard
Maybe a bit controversial because the original so good, but quite like this cover of Bob Mould’s Classic - Black Sheets of Rain
