cover yourself


cover yourself-june 2008 international cd swap
i'd normally add all this in the cd package but my printer id dead, hopefully by next time i'll be all set!

cd 1 cover yourself
1.let's spend the night together- david bowie "aladdin sane" (rolling stones)
2.(i can't get no) satisfaction- devo "are we not men?" (rolling stones)
3.stuck in the metal -eagles of death metal "peace love death metal" ("stuck in the middle" -steelers wheel)
4.love light -the mack w/ teneia sanders "louisville is for lovers live 2008(unreleased)" (greatful dead)
5. kiss the bottle -lucero "dreaming in america" (jawbreaker)
6.how come u don't call me anymore -prince "b-side of '1999' 7 inch" (original)
7. blood and tears -gallery singers/my morning jacket "louisville babylon 2007 (hidden track)" (danzig)
8.angel of the morning -merrilee rush and the turnabouts "1967 single" (original)
9.thirteen -elliott smith "b sides and other songs" (big star)
10.halloween -wax fang "louisville babylon 2007" (misfits)

i added 2 originals in wich the cover was more popular and the origonal is lesser known. christine is a juice newten fan, and i thought she would like to here this original. i love this merrilee song. a girl put this on a mixed tape for me once, and when i'd leave her home in the early morning and be deliriously driving home as the sun came up i would play this song and sing it aloud in the car.
and the prince song was made popular by alesha keys. i think keys a great song writer/musician and like her cover of this track, but 'how come u don't call me anymore' is my favorite prince song ever, and i am a huge fan! rachel grimes and i were working on a cover of this song awhile back and one nite i walked out to the corner to get a coke, and a car pulled up blairing key's cover, it just came out and i didn't know any thing about it. i was crushed.
i also added two tracks from a cd i released, and i think you guys might already have it, but the other day i played some wax fang and forgot how great this cover is. and the collaberation with me and my morning jacket might seem weird, but i only sang on it and love the music, and the slash guitar solos. and hidden tracks are always fun.

cd 2
baby huey -the baby huey story

1. listen to me (m. johnson)
2.mama get yourself together (origonal-huey)
3.a change is gonna come (sam cooke)
4.mighty mighty (mayfeild)
5.hard times (mayfield)
6.california dreamin' (mamma's and pappas)
7.running (philips)
8.one dragon two dragon (origonal-huey)

this baby huey collection is all the songs he recorded before he died of a herion overdose at 26. he was signed to cutis mayfield's label a year before he died, i think '72 maybe. most of the songs are mayfield covers, and a few others including the mama's and the papa's hit california dreamin, and sam cooke's legendary a change is gonna come. and just 2 originals.
he was thought to become a great singer but died before he finished his first lp.
but what i really love is his arrangments. his take on these songs are brilliant. he was a gifted composer. he deffinatly made these songs his own. dang drugs.

holiday announcement

Just a household announcement; no, I'm not away yet, but before i forget about it, I think I will sent July and August in one package. From my side it will be no compilations, I have no time for that than. I can pick that up in September. I have just digitalized the JSBE show with the interview and I realised I was there too. The problem was that above the studio is a grand cafe and they have nice Belgium beers, so the memory was kind of blurred but came back while listening to this show again! I remember sitting at the bar before the show with a friend of mine and russel simmins. Not that we talked to him or anything, he looked a bit fucked up!
