Johnny Cash's "hurt"...a cover of a NiN(nine inch nails) song...
the original has no feel or soul to it... John makes it his own, in fact its as though the song was written either by him or with him in mind! not your usual JC track, but a haunting ballad that sums up his whole life, well worth a listen if you dont know it(and that includes you Jerome!)

World Party is a vehicle for Karl Wallinger...and that's a good thing, as his influences are excellent and his writing/playing are crafty in the best sense.

One said, "Sounds like the Beatles as if Dylan and Prince were in the band". Puts you right there, doesn't it?

May have said this before but there are covers and then there are total re-imaginings using the bare bones of the song. Bettye LaVette has had a career resurgence with that philosophy; Conrad Herwig has built a career-within-a-career with his Latin reworkings of bop/hard bop composer/players. Here's 4 such:

Absolutely Brilliant! Thanks Jazzy! I love this stuff...can't go wrong with Joe Lovano,,such a red hot sax player and a great composer! Loved the So What version,,,at the 2:25 mark, the loud cymbal crash is retained like the original by Jimmy Cobb!
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!

You expect the off-trail from me and you get it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1j0XW6RRCs but then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgl0346dmrM << Turn it up and rock yo' bad self.
SEMI-BONUS: Here's the original track with the bass stripped out and re-added; the original bass was 7-string--this guy does it with 4.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJsdaVrE6W0
