Andy Pratt's falsetto is just too much; Roger adds some balls to her story, even if Pratt disagreed

Quote:
Roger Daltrey covered "Avenging Annie" in 1974, and his version appeared first on his One of the Boys album as well as other collections he released. My opinion of his version is that he was afraid to play the role of a woman in the song, and his band did not play the syncopations that we played in our version. I prefer my version. Still, I am grateful for his recognition of the song, and the added exposure that he helped me to gain.

Back when I could still draw, I was even inspired to illustrate my own vision of Annie



* I haf=d planned to do a collection of illustrated song lyrics titled Sally, Mary & Anne, since they seem to come up a lot, especially in Classic Rock ["Sally Simpson", "Lay Down Sally", MaryAnn with the Shaky Hands", "Mary, Queen of Arkansas" and so on]

I am a big Calexico fan, but that is not better than the original. Now, if you want to link their version of Love's Alone Again..Or, I might agree with you.

The horns are a nice addition, gives it a Roots-like feel.

Yeah, if ?uestlove was really REALLY pissed off!!!

I also thought of David Byrne, they way he used only a horn section to back himself and St Vincent on the Love This Giant tour





ETA: I always thought "Road to Nowhere" was left over from The Knee Plays, which he did with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band

What if Dee 'covers' his own song?

More Brass Against.. the song probably isn't too well-known but she (and the rest of the band) does an admirable job of covering it. Even manages to rival MJK's scream at the end.

D'Kid made me replay this the other day; it was playing on Spotify while I was making dinner

"WAIT! What did he say right there?" shes asked

""Just because I dress like this, doesn't mean I'm a Communist'" I answered "It's actually a cover. I never liked the original. I prefer this one. Why do you ask?"

"I thought he said 'Just because I'm an Anarchist, doesn't mean I wanna squeeze your tits'"





Frankly, I kinda think her lyrics are a further improvement

Nope. It's the pure melancholy of the original I love.

Yet, if you know the movie, Nurse Dish fucks Painless, he gets over his "issue" and wakes up the next day fresh as a daisy

So, it's not so melancholy, from a certain point of view

Another version of "Heroes" ... not BETTER, just different



There are a couple giggles from the audience at the beginning

I bet they feel like assholes at the end

Not sure if this guy has popped up (didn’t see in search) but stumbled across him a few years back and been a fan since.
