COVER ME

ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE MY LAST POST, MAYBE A BIT TOO LONG YEA ?
I LIKE COVERS, YOU KNOW WHEN ANOTHER BAND OR ARTIST REDOES ANOTHER ARTISTS SONG.
HOWEVER, I FEEL COVERS SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE A TWIST, A DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT, TEMPO, SOUNDS, ETC.

ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE RAVING ABOUT MAYER HAWTHORNE.
I MET HIM BRIEFLY WHILE IN L.A., SEEMS LIKE A COOL GUY, HAS GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC AND I LOVED HIS 1ST RECORD "AINT GONNA WORK OUT".
I DONT LIKE HIS COVER OF THE ALREADY PERFECT NEW HOLIDAYS "MAYBE SO MAYBE NO".
ITS LIKE THE SAME EXACT SONG.
NOTHINGS REALLY DIFFERENT EXCEPT FOR THE SINGING. IN WHICH CASE THE ORIGINAL IS BETTER.
IM NOT KNOCKING MAYER FOR HIS WORK OR HUSTLE, HE PLAYS ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS HIMSELF I THINK, AND ITS GREAT THAT YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT EXPOSED TO THE NEW HOLIDAYS RECORD ARE VIBING OFF OF MAYERS VERSION, BUT IT'D BE NICE IF HE COULD SOMEHOW LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE ORIGINAL...ESPECIALLY SINCE MAYERS VERSION SOUNDS THE WAY IT DOES.
WHY WOULD A PERSON LIKE MYSELF, WHOS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SONG, EVER WANT TO PLAY MAYERS VERSION INSTEAD OF THE NEW HOLIDAYS ?
IM SURE EVEN MAYER PLAYS THE NEW HOLIDAYS VERSION.
EVERYBODY THAT ASKS ME TO PLAY THE MAYER SONG, I TELL THEM THEY NEED TO HEAR THE OG.
SO HERES THE OG...ENJOY

OH YEA, WHILE IM ON THIS TIP.... HOW ABOUT LEE FIELDS !?
I WAS READY TO GO OUT AND BUY THIS GUYS RECORD UNTIL I STUMBLED ACROSS A COPY IN A PILE OF CDS, I HAD NO IDEA I EVEN OWNED A PROMO COPY OF HIS LATEST LP " MY WORLD".
THIS LP IS INCREDIBLE, THE CONVICTION IN HIS VOICE IS THE ESSENCE OF A SOUL SINGER...AT LEAST IN MY BOOK.
WHY ARENT MORE PEOPLE UP ON THIS LEE FIELDS.. GOOD QUESTION. LOOK FOR THIS MANS MUSIC, KILLER STUFF.
