JJ, that has to be to worse Sundown solo I've ever heard! I'm not convinced the soloist has a clue how to play guitar. It just sounds like a bunch of random notes.

I've come to the conclusion that there is NOBODY who can play the lead part to Sundown like Terry could. And come to think of it, there is no one who can sing it as well as Gord did.

Yeah but I've heard worse, right in my own dwelling lol

the lead break does sound like a non-solo eh. my mild rant was actually honed in on the lead out. not sure why he wouldn't do some grundge derivative of the classic TC licks. anyhow I like the vid and The Hip flavour the rendition has

I'm kinda glad this contest chooses to mess with Sundown rather than a slew of GL classics that are in my "look but don't touch" list:)

Re: Cover Me Canada
 

You may have heard worse in your own dwelling, but at least you didn't record it and put it on You Tube.

You're so right there. That solo is one tough cookie to crack smoothly. And someone said Sundown is a song that is uncoverable. I tend to agree; have yet to hear one version that really grabs me. Should make for an interesting task for the judges.

Re: Cover Me Canada
 

true enuf, cathy

some vid efforts i've appreciated but that's not what this is about...this audio effort grabbed me to a certain degree...i had been wondering what manny ramirez was doing now that his playing days are through


a good chance i am heading to Centre Island myself today on the good ol' ferry

Re: Cover Me Canada
 

And I didn't even know Manny could sing. LOL. He sure resembles Manny. I guess the old saying about everyone having a double is true.

Re: Cover Me Canada
 

And to think he's even singing without a big wad of chewing tobacco in his mouth.

Well August 19th was the date the finalists were to be notified as to their selection for the TV program next month. I wonder who got the nod for the Lightfoot song?

Re: Cover Me Canada
 

The finalists are "still to be announced," according to the website. What are they waiting for??

Re: Cover Me Canada

Re: Cover Me Canada
 

They've got three teasers up, but only for Life Is a Highway, Run to You and Black Velvet, not Sundown ...

SUNDOWN

Re: Cover Me Canada
 

I guess Sundown was only an audition song and will not be performed on the broadcast :( The first episode featured tunes like Raise a Little Hell, Snowbird, Spinning Wheel, Born to Be Wild and Workin' for the Weekend, but no Lightfoot ...

i forget the criteria for this but melanie is already a break through artist (ecma, cmt, etc exposure) ... not sure if she's got enough goods to differentiate her from a saturation of young nashville gals already on the scene, but terrific command of her vocals

perhaps it's for those indy's yet to be signed to major labels

anyhow, i havent see the show but in sifting through the website media, nothing much tickled my fancy... perhaps the ratings are enough to freeze my tax dollar(s)
