Suspicious Minds?????

[ChronicHunger]

i found this song on itunes and had no idea about ti, did they right it? or is it a cover

[dragonboy]

You're kidding right?!!  ;D

Suspicious Minds was written by Mark James & was one of Elvis Presley's most famous/popular songs. Jim has played it solo a few times...

don't worry...i didn't know that was an Elvis song either until I found out Jim James did it.  It was knowing that JJ covered that song that go me into Elvis.  Same way I'm now a huge Bobby Womack fan.  Across 110th Street!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! I thought everyone knew this song. But maybe that's because my mum's a huge Elvis fan.

It's a classic, very well done cover.  I have two different versions from Dylan's covers comp if you need them, let me know, I will upload them somewhere.

How have you posted here over a thousand times and not seen the covers comp?  Sometimes I think getting a thread stickied is a bad thing.  Maybe I should post a thread about each individual song, one at a time, once a week or something.  There's some great shit in there, people.  Go get it!  Start with Hot Burrito #1.

Oh and they are ALL available for free download.  I repeat the best version of every song that the band has ever covered live and has since been circulated is available for download at the covers comp thread.   http://www.mymorningjacket.com/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1154140025

Sorry if I seem upset but it boggles my mind how many people ignore that collection. Not because it's my work but because the music is so great. I've spent nine years collecting and cataloging these covers and people who are senior members of this board don't know it exists. It can be frustrating.

Holy Crap, Hot Burrito #1, EVERY time I hear Jim sing this on my iPod I could just fucking cry.  It's BRILLIANT!

i have it!  I love it! That comp was one of things that made me love MMJ so much.  It's not that they do covers that made me love them, but it was how well they do the covers, how much thought is put into each cover and the choice of songs which made me fall for them so hard.  So thank you AmD!  your a king amongst men.  

Have you added the new ones?  Bonnaroo? Lollapoloza?

Thanks for the props. I haven't updated it recently.  I need to start a new thread but haven't gotten around to it, even though BH has already done most of the leg work for me of late.

How about we get this thread back on track & continue talking about Elvis? Thanks people!  ;)
