Music Day - Cover Songs: "You Really Got Me" (The Kinks) And "The 'In' Crowd" (Dobie Gray)
Episode 139
The theme of this Music Day episode is Cover Songs.
A cover song is when an artist performs a song that someone else has already performed. Most artists have done covers. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, for example, both started out exclusively playing covers before they began to write their own songs.
This episode presents two of my covers. I prefer to call them “reimagined versions” because I always try to make my covers as original as possible.
The first is “You Really Got Me” by The Kinks. It features the wonderful Lucy Woodward on vocals. Dave Davies of The Kinks has praised our cover. The second is “The ‘In’ Crowd”, Dobie Gray’s hit that was also a jazz hit for Ramsey Lewis. It features the sublime Ziarra Washington on vocals.
Stay tuned for more Music Day episodes from time to time.
