#marchofthecovers — Public Fediverse posts

Well, this has been a rough month for March of the Covers, no idea why I had so much trouble staying on top of it. I think next year may be the last one I do, simply because I'm struggling to come up with a month's worth of covers, heck, this might wind up being the last one, we'll just have to see.
Any how, for this last one, how about The Donnas cover Bachman-Turner Overdrive on Rolling Down the Highway? From the soundtrack of Herbie Fully Loaded, a dog of a movie (they managed to release two bad Herbie movies months apart, one an ABC family movie with a great cast and crap story, and this one with a crap cast and an almost good story, the original story badly updated to modern times really). Well, at least it gave us a good soundtrack.

Ok, time for today's cover, and its actually an interesting one, Rosanne Cash's cover of Tenessee Flat Top Box? Who did the original? Her father, Johnny Cash, though she didn't know it at the time, she had recorded it at the suggestion of her husband, and assumed it was a public domain song.

Whoops, was so busy on so many things yesterday that we forgot to post a song. While the movie Black Dog was crap, the soundtrack was awesome, lots of great covers on their, but today we're focusing on Rhett Akins cover of Eddie Rabbit's Drivin' My Life Away.

You know, the really fun part of cover songs is finding out that some of your favorite songs are covers. Move It On Over is a great George Thorogood song, something I found because my dad really loved the band, but did you know it was a cover? Yeah, the original is by Hank Williams, yes, Hank Williams the first, and a quite good country song, but I don't think I could've imagined this as a old school country song if'n I hadn't heard it.

Alright, lets rock, how about some Good Times, Bad Times? Originally a Led Zepplin song, God Smack did a pretty good job covering it, no?

Ok, today's cover is going to be an easy one, more country, a country cover of a country song about driving a truck, what could be more country than that? Yep, no rock cover of a country song or country cover of a rock, nothing but pure truck driving country.

Ok, lets get up to date on the covers with Air That I Breathe by Hank Williams Jr. I'm not actually sure which version I'm familiar with, I mean I have this one in my collection, but considering who wrote it, Albert Hammond in 72 who released it on his debut album It Never Rains In California, and while I don't recognize his name, I do recognize that album title as a song I've heard, so there's a fair chance I've heard it. And then there was the Evrly Brothers cover in 73, we all know them, followed by a Hollies cover in 74 produced by Alan Parsons, yes, that Alan Parsons, there's a lot of versions I could've and prolly did hear before this version. To make things even crazier, it was covered in 98 by Simply Red, a band name that sounds familiar, though I can't say from what song.
So, yeah, lots of artists that I know and like have done this one, so which was the first I became familiar with is definitely a hard one to say, but they're all good. Kinda funny, the Wikipedia article lists other covers as well as the important ones, and this one doesn't show up any where.

Alright, another one a day late, but better late than never. Yeah, this year is country heavy, but ain't nothing wrong with country? I ain't never seen a problem with it, and so today's is I Ain't Never, originally written by Webb Pierce and Mel Tillis in 1959, recorded by Pierce in 59, and Tillis in 72, or rather that's the recording everyone knows, he'd previously recorded it in 62. This version is a more recent one by BR5-49, a now defunct country/alt country/roackabilly/country rock band

Ok, still not managing to keep up with this year's promise of a cover song a day. Catching up with yesterday, how about Walk Away? Originally written by Joe Walsh, yes, that Joe Walsh, for the hard rock band James Gang. Tesla's cover is a fairly straight cover, after all they too are a hard rock band, but its not like there's many covers of this song, which is a shame because its a great song.

Alright, with this one, March of the Covers is back on track. And what is this? Why just Suspicious Minds, yep, the Elvis song… As a country duet. Not real fond of this, but seriously, could never have imagined this song as a country cover, so as we said up front, even if'n we don't like it, it gets on the list if it stands out, and this certainly stands out. If I had to pick a version I like, prolly Dwight Yoakam edges out Elvis for me.
