This is beautiful.Give him a few more years and a few experiences and he'll have it perfect ;D nonrabbit thanks for sharing, I love discovering new threads with good music Your welcome Remy - isn't that what it's all about - the love of music and a curiousity to hear more. This boy, Luke Murray is from a very musical family and tradition from the island of Inishbofin in Co Galway. I had the privilege of hearing another member of the family, Andrew Murray, a couple of times in Dublin and in a small community hall in Pettigo, Co Donegal which continued in the pub next to the Hall. Andrew Murray without a word of a lie, has one of the finest voices I have ever heard.It's mesmerising! "...warm, deep, resonant voice, described as being like ' a blend of warm tar and brown sugar', is instantly recognisable and '... inspires the audience to hang on his every word'. www.slide.ie/promo/andrew.html

Really great voices and new to me, I am a big fan of Folk music - Celtic music and for me one of the greatest voices of the folk is undoubtedly Sandy Denny, so I'll let this video if someone interested... Although I think it's hard to do a cover of this voice
Sandy Denny - Live At The BBC (1971)
Perhaps anyone knows a voice like this?

My favourite Scottish female Folk singers; Julie Fowlis - the Hebridean vocalist Karen Matheson - and the beautiful Ailein Duinn takes you to another world.

A noble effort by this team and this Robert Berry's version of Minstrel is excellent and one of the many great tracks on this album. It's a crying shame it never got released as a cd single and gained any airplay on the radio here in the UK. Think I'll email Nicky Horne at Planet Rock and suggest it for his evening programme.

Remember this by the Easybeats? It was/is a superb pop song anyway, written by the brother of the Young guitarists of AC/DC. Richard Thompson does this song justice by the shed-load.
Another version with a bit more oomph.

Dude plays with his new hat and Ikea lamp. Wow! That guy really butchered the song in many ways although he was quite entertaining. At the 2:42 mark he was tugging on his beard with "December's foggy freeze" and I hit the floor. He made some parts sound very personal about "watching little girls with bad intent" too. When he skipped over the guitar solo I was shocked. Pick up something and play it next time. All in all it was not the worst but quite strange even with the hat. I always knew what those flexible lights were for, need more.

name the best cover version of ; Eleanor Rigby Stairway to Heaven Cry Me a River Yesterday and the worst? check out the amount of both on these ;D Other posters have mentioned most of these songs, but one hasn't been discussed that I saw. The best cover version of "Cry Me a River" is by Joe Cocker and Leon Russell of Mad Dogs and Englishmen. In fact, for quite a long time nearly every song Cocker covered was as good or better than the original (Feelin' Alright, With a Little Help From My Friends, The Letter, etc.).

Your absolutely right about Joe Cocker. I did an article on my blog about 4 years ago titled The Thirteen Greatest Cover Songs. See which ones you agree with.

I've had a quick look, I'll go back, looks good so far! If I may take the liberty to add to the "Thou Shalts" list; Thou shalt give due attention to the young- sitting in the various bedrooms across the globe putting videos on Youtube of some cracking cover songs. Something that warms the cockles of my oldish heart, I am aware that that's how the Bieber started so I'll add that it has to be music I like.

A follow on from Morthoron's post and in particular his description of One Brown Mouse that of being a great version of a Burn's poem.
This is also a wonderful example of Burn's anti-war poem from Eddie Reader.
Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear, lend an ear Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear Ye Jacobites by name your faults I will proclaim Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear.
What is right and what is wrong by the law, by the law What is right and what is wrong by the law What is right and what is wrong, a short sword and a long A weak arm and a strong for to draw.
What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar? What makes heroic strife famed afar? What makes heroic strife, to whet the assassin's knife Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war.
Then leave your schemes alone in the state, in the state Then leave your schemes alone in the state Then leave your schemes alone, adore the rising sun And leave a man alone to his fate.
Then leave your schemes alone, adore the rising sun And leave a man alone to his fate... And leave a man alone to his fate.

Remember this thread?
Came across these two versions of Beeswing.
What brilliant, brilliant guitar playing from Ruairi Cunnane a Belfast musician I believe. His version is a good bit faster on the vocals.
This boy featured before on this thread does an excellent job too on vocals.

Both are excellent although I seem to like this one a little more... I was nineteen when I came to town, They called it the Summer of Love They were burning babies, burning flags, The hawks against the doves I took a job in the steamie, Down on Cauldrum Street And I fell in love with a laundry girl, Who was working next to me
Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing So fine a breath of wind might blow her away She was a lost child, oh she was running wild She said, "As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay And you wouldn't want me any other way" Read more: Richard Thompson - Beeswing Lyrics | Metro Lyrics link
