i was trying to find out what the 'angry american' theme was all about and instead stumbled on this
i don't know this fella (but i was impressed with some of his comments in a few interviews i just watched) any more than toby but i guess his cover did some charting last decade...i believe keith urban (i've actually heard of him, pretty talented player) was also playing a 'country' cover of this live last year however that may have only been for the toronto show...country radio up here just spins the actual GL version and if they also did so down south that would probably turn the current crop onto Gord... maybe someone in country music should revive something like hangdog hotel room or if it should please you or one of a pile of other GL tunes that are hidden gems with cover single potential awaiting a refreshed arrangement...i'd prefer mine non-tender... something well-done would be nice
