i'm a big fan of cover songs. not american idol-style karoake renderings, but when an artist takes a song and reinterprets it.
i always get random things in the mail, and this week it is the new CD from etta james.
i think we can all agree that she is a living legend. but i am not completely sure about this CD. she covers some interesting songs, and the results, in my opinion, are mixed. but you gotta love a risk taker.
etta james - purple rain
etta james - imagine
she also covers "i believe i can fly" and "what's going on."
so what do you think?
while not quite a classic, i saw this cover of a Three 6 Mafia song on suckapants.
american sneakers - try something
