Golden covered

[just one fan]

So upon awakening this morning to the radio, I recognize a very familiar song.  And as I shake off the sleep, I come to understand that the song I hear is Golden, but it's not the band that I know so well.  The piece ends before I gain enough consciousness to analyze the phenomenon.  So, what to do but callup the DJ who played it........



....AMERICA!  (The same band that made the greats like sister golden hair, a horse with no name and so on)  They have a new album called "here and now" or something to that affect, and on it they cover Golden.  Wow.

how 'bout this:

due out jan 16th

Whoa, how weird.

[colleen]

sounds like there's a nada surf cover on there too (always love). haven't listened to the rest yet.

[dragonboy]

Thanks for the heads up JOF.
Sounds like a pretty straightforward copy...
Listening to the clip on amazon reminds you of what an amazing voice Jim has, that guy stinks!

[aMD]

It says on America's website that they collaborated with "members of My Morning Jacket".  So it's not a straightforward cover.  Just as strange though.

Does this mean that my dream of MMJ's covering "Ventura Highway" is nearing actualization?

Anyway, I'm at my desk and am looking at an advance single from America's new album sent to my station, and it says James Iha produced it. Huh. He is also credited with "windchimes."

Hey, I would buy that bowie CD.  But I think I would rather hear MMJ cover Bowie...  "Don't you wonder someti-i-i-i-imes, 'bout Sound and Vision?"

Didn't they already have a song on OC?  Around the same time they did that beer commercial?  :-(

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

oh no, I mean actually going ON the OC, not just having a song on there.

the beer commercial thing was awesome.

i agree on the Bowie thing, i was just making fun, as usual....

[bug]

ooohhhh!  maybe we'll get a "pickin' on My Morning Jacket" album of MMJ songs in a bluegrass style, that'd be cool

I was just going to say the same thing.

Or how about the orchastra version, you see that a lot as well and it would be a perfect fit.

Yeah, perhaps they can get David Lee Roth to sit in on the recording sessions.

No way.  When it comes to covering your own music bluegrass style, Dave is the man.  Check this out, Strummin with the Devil Baby ;):

good Lord, I could have lived the rest of my life without seeing that clip. What do rock stars do when it all dries up and they have nothing left to fall back on? Sad.

They start their own brand of tequila!

Actually, that is damn fine tequila.

I heard this on the radio about 2 months ago.

DLR has just ruined my Xmas. I used to love this song, in fact it was one of my all time favourites. Severely depressed now.

No No - The Jacket to the rescue.

Okonokos DVD under the tree beckoning.

Merry Xmas everyone.

;D
