Let's start with Neil Young with his song from 1989's Freedom album. Rather unkindly described on a list I googled as an absolute dumpster fire .Not as bad as that but not one of his strongest songs and certainly not a patch on the cover by Emmlou
Neil Young - Wrecking Ball
Neil is followed by an artist who never disappoints the great Gillian Welch with her song being the final track on her 4th studio album from 2003 Soul Journey
Gillian Welch - Wrecking Ball
I'm slightly cheating with my last offering given that it is titled My Wrecking Ball but that is close enough I reckon.You will recognize the voice as being that of Ryan Adams.
From his self titled 14th album from 2014.
Is it only me or does anyone else get annoyed when a band or artist releases anything other than their debut album eponymously?

ReplyDeleteDoesn't bother me in the slightest
I love the Gillian Welch song. I heard Bright Eyes cover it at Latitude sometime ago.
ReplyDeleteI quite like eponymously titled albums then you can give it your own name like "the nearly as pish one as the last" etc.
A very strong trio of tunes. Whoever wrote the comment about Neil's performance was being unduly harsh I reckon.
