Music Share - White Stripes Covers
Sep. 10th, 2008 01:27 pmI haven't forgotten you guys as far as sharing music goes. I probably won't do it as often now that I am contributing to the themes over at the other blog, but I do hope that I will share some stuff here too when I have ideas.
As many of you know, I love me some cover songs! I also really like female singers, so it's fitting that I end up collecting many songs that are covered by women. I was reading a blog post about the Chris Thile cover of The White Stripes "Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground" and it reminded me that Nina Persson does a really nice version of it, so then I decided to gather up all my covers of the White Stripes by ladies, and I ended up having a few, and enough worth sharing here. I like the White Stripes only okay. I have one of their albums, and a number of their songs on my playlist, but I would be hesitant to call myself a fan in the grand scheme of things. But I do really admire their songwriting, so when I hear someone else sing it, especially someone I love the voice of, like Nina, it really puts in perspective how great their music can be.
Nina Persson - "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground"
KT Tunstall - "My Doorbell"
Bree Sharp - "We Are Gonna Be Friends"
Nikka Costa - "The Denial Twist"
Vyvienne Long - "Seven Nation Army"
Bonus track: I think the Vyvienne Long version is so much better than this one, thus this is only a bonus for the sake of completeness. And no, I am not including the Joss Stone version of "Fell In Love With a Girl" because I am kinda sick of it.
Kate Nash - "Seven Nation Army"
