Strong Covers Volume Two
Strong songs podcast is back with a new episode. This week, we're looking at some of the best covers in recent memory. We'll also be talking to sam howard from whaland jennies and molly tuttle for tato. And if you'd like to vote for independent, creator controlled media, go to patrion dot com.
Three different artists! Three different covers! Of songs by one beloved band!
On the second edition of "Strong Covers," we're digging into covers of three Beatles classics: Earth, Wind & Fire's maximalist remake of "Gotta Get You Into My Life," Ray Charles' saucy reimagining of "Eleanor Rigby," and Bobby McFerrin's delicate recitation of "Blackbird." Come for the English-accented rhyme schemes, stay for the impeccable voice leading.
Covered (lol) on this episode:
- "Gotta Get You Into My Life" by Paul McCartney/Lennon-McCartney, as covered by Earth, Wind & Fire in 1978
- "Eleanor Rigby" by Paul McCartney/Lennon-McCartney, as covered by Ray Charles in 1968
- "Blackbird" by Paul McCartney/Lennon-McCartney, as covered by Bobby McFerrin on The Voice, 1984
OUTRO SOLOIST: Sam Howard
This episode's outro soloist is bassist Sam Howard. Sam performs and tours with all kinds of artists, from the Wailin' Jennys to Molly Tuttle. After his solo on the bridge, he played all the way through the song's outro, so keep an ear out for his playing mixed under the horns on the way out. You can find out what Sam's up to on his website, https://samhowardmusic.com.
