Here’s a pretty good one. Tori Amos covering Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.” Far superior to The Smashing Pumpkins version released in 1994…and hey, I like the Pumpkins, too.
**Bonus** I love Tori’s cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” too. Check it out.
Another great artist on Subpop Records. Sam Beam is a talented singer-songwriter that records and performs under the name Iron and Wine. The song featured in the video, “Upward Over the Mountain,” appears on Iron and Wine’s album The Creek Drank the Cradle. This is another great song without an artist produced video to accompany it, so enjoy this video produced by Xavier Reivax. It’s not half-bad. The second song featured is Grant-Lee Phillip’s “St. Expedite.”
I’m a big fan….I’m hoping he’ll be releasing a new album soon. This song, “Volcano” is from his album 0. Recorded live at Abbey Road Studios. Oh, in the interest of full-disclosure, I have a voice-crush on the woman singing with him, Lisa Hannigan.
