Cover version discovery

There’s an ace version of Josephine by The Nice Nice as mentioned in this article, but they appear to have disappeared off the face of the earth…along with the song.

Title track to the 2020 Japanese ambience inspired dreamy pop release by Shabason Krgovich & Harris. This is a cover of the Neil Young original which served as the main song for the Tom Hanks film “Philadelphia”.

I highly recommend this album if you love Talk Talk, The Blue Nile etc

This may be one of my favorite covers of all time. There’s an ace version of Going Back to My Roots on this LP as well.

Sturgill Simpson takes Nirvana into countrified blue eyed soul territory with lap steel and Memphis horn vibes. Nice.

The guys son mailed the other day. He’s mastered a load of his dads stuff so more to follow.
