Cover Versions

[Yellow Fang]

Deep Purple do a very different version of the Jimi Hendrix track Hey Joe.

Hendrix covered Hey Joe himself.

I was listening to the end of the Simon Mayo show this evening (Radio 2, Mon-Fri, 17:00 - 19:00), & he played Lynn Andersons recording of (I Never Promised You A) 'Rose Garden'


It got me thinking how, in some instances, a cover version is possibly superior...
However, I contest that KD Langs, is better
I still have my copy (on vinyl), & what a voice she has!!



And, as for her version of (Patsy Clines) Three Cigarettes In An Ash-Tray
It's on the same LP as 'Rose Garden' & produced by Dave Edmunds (the 'Queen of Hearts', etc... man)

I think Lynn Anderson covered the song by Joe South.

I think Lynn Anderson covered the song by Joe South.

I didn’t know he recorded it, but Anderson was ‘the’ accepted/well-known version?

Billy Joe Royal recorded the first version in 1967 covered by Dobie Gray then Joe South.....................Lynn Anderson heard the Joe South version and then recorded it

KD Lang then undoubtedly knew the Lynn Anderson recording

Shame the 'intro' to that is missing,

"OK baby bend over and spread em here comes my bullet"
