I know I've posted this already but I've had a glass of wine and need to hear this again.

Not a song, but Barney McKenna's a genius with the banjo. This is him accompanied by Eamonn Campbell

Steve Earle's live version of the Rolling Stones Dead Flowers. Very rare, features on an album called Cover You which has Otis, Rita Coolidge, Johnny Cash, Little Richard etc. covering the tiles of Jagger/Richards. If anybody can direct me to a version of this on the net they have a better inside track than me.

"Send me dead flowers at my wedding, and i won't forget to put roses on your grave". When two 20 something louts from a london suburb wrote that in the late 60's you knew it was a  piss take. When Stevie from west texas got hold of it you knew he meant every single word.

Fair play for tracking down this version for me. You've just gone on my Christmas Card list. The one case where the cover artist knocked the socks of the Stones Version by miles as far as I'm concerned. Mainly because the stones version was a gentle piss take, either that or else Keef, in a rare moment of heroin induced clarity around 1970, have visions to Texas Steve getting hold of it 20 years later and turning it from a bit of a laugh to the most heartfelt lovesong from the US frontier country.

Mind you Little Richards version of Brown Sugar where he sounds like a bunny rabbit overdosed on Viagra comes a deserving, but distant second when it comes to great Stones covers, imo. thanks again

it changes from now and again but one tune I am happy to spend all day listening to is Glycerine by Bush.... absolute quality tune only discovered it in the last few months - it wasn't really my scene when it first came out when I was ten or so!!

Never heard of this blade before but she has some voice. Alicia Keys did a version of this but it pales into comparison.

Haven't been able to get this one out of my head all evening and forgot how good it was. Don't worry; it isn't Mrs Robinson...
