Ha, this cover isn't great, yeah.

Early 80s prom soft rock tune "Just Between You and Me" is probably April Wine's most popular tune I'd figure.
I remember "Flight of the Gypsy Queen" as a kid and that along with getting into other off Canadian hard rock nuggets like Pat Travers and Max Webster got me curious.
April Wine's not great but their harmony singing with the arena rock crunch is a bit theirs' sound wise.

Realizing I had never heard so many famous singles in their contexts and wanting to do so, I listened to all of Too-Rye-Ay by Dexy's for the first time just yesterday. What a great record! It walks a real careful line, when it comes to the more soul-influenced songs, between simple pastiche and an actual example of the idiom and pulls it off perfectly.

"Just Between You and Me" doesn't sound familiar at all, actually, but those other three are burned into my brain. (I see Toronto's Q107 played "Roller" this morning.)

15-60-75 (The Numbers Band) - basically all their 70s and 80s work has been hitting the spot lately. Their blend of blues, jazz and rock melded with Robert Kidney's vocals is the best.

Not an album per se or at least not until it was cover mounted on the latest Mojo but the collection of early mod r'n'b that came with e Roger Daltrey edition of taht mag. Classic singles from the early 60s some of which may be better known in cover versions from mod/beat bands.

Is Poison's Open Up and Say... Ah! a Classic album? Because it sounds fantastic right now.
― brontosaur, Thursday, 19 April 2018 17:51 (six years ago) link
No idea if it's a classic, but I wish it sounded more like its album cover.

It's hard to imagine that a long tongue and that title were enough to get that album cover censored.

Not an album, but Barbara Lewis' 'Hello Stranger' randomly popped up on the in-store radio at work and it completely floored me. I knew Julia Holter's version from Loud City Song, but never realized it was a cover.

Cem Karaca/Karpaslar which I had to compile from tracks on Spotify and I hope i used the right versions for. Just reading the Daniel Spicer book on Anadolu Psych which had a chapter on Karaca which has me looking into the music written about.There are Guerssen reissues of this and the other Cem Karaca compilation from around the same time which was also really great.Need to get hold of copies.
Anyway Turkish mid 70s psych meets traditional Turkish folk melodies. Great stuff.

I love that he's not even using his own guitar in that clip. He forgot his guitar and had to borrow Earl Hooker's. Young guitarists take note: the guitar doesn't matter if you can make your fingers play like that!
Fans of West Side Soul, don't skip the 1968 live recording Live at the Avant Garde. Incredible stuff and surprisingly decent sound.
