I'm not quite sure how this one will go down ( I know at least one regular reader who will be less than impressed!)
If you like it I'm happy to take the credit. If not, blame my brother as this is another one of his.
From 2007 and on Raucous Records a 14 track compilation featuring 13 Rockabilly acts (The Farrell Brothers appear twice ) covering 13 Clash classics (Guns of Brixton appearing twice)
For your listening pleasure I have opted for one of the versions of Guns of Brixton by The Honeydippers and Train in Vain by The Sabrejets.
Something similar may appear next week - you have been warned!
The Honeydippers - Guns of Brixton
The Sabrejets - Train in Vain
This is good stuff CC, done with love and well executed.

The same applies to all my posts SA!!
DeleteIndeed
DeleteThe Honeydippers songs is damned fine, CC, damned fine. And I also really liked the Sabrejets
ReplyDeleteWhat about a series......the original version is crap but this cover version is much much better?
ReplyDeleteSome folk think I already have that with my Bob Dylan series!
DeleteI'd forgotten about that, sorry.
DeleteLooking forward to next friday's instalment. Please don't post the original.
ReplyDeleteIt won't be the Clash - that's all I'm saying
DeleteAhhhh. This is a fun collection. I recently pulled it out when I was on a Clash rant. I may have blown my car speakers.
ReplyDeleteNot biting George.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to listening to these when I get home today
Drew, I really do like today's songs.
DeleteNaughty George.
ReplyDeleteIt seems some think George is lacking in authenticity today. These are pretty interesting covers, and I choose to believe George likes them too. Trouble is, we all know the originals are better. Still, I respect our pal for not caving in to the immense pressure in these parts that is Clash Love.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brian. Someone in South West Europe might even have downloaded today's tracks.
