A couple really nice covers if you're interested:

 

 

 

 

With the first one, I loved the accents they put on parts of this. They made it sound like a bluegrass song. 

With the second one, talk about being soulful! This was an excellent cover. I can definitely hear this on one of the soul stations on SiriusXM. Really good stuff. 

 

Thanks for shring these!

Gerry Rafferty was a damn good song writer-

 

Another song that’s a station turner.

My guess is you never met the women described in this song.  This song is one of the greatest all time love songs IMO

Sort of like when we would see you making a guess in the 'Name the Celebrity' thread in Off The Wall.

A couple years ago, my wife were holidaying on the island of Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands, where we rent a little beach house each winter.

 

Well, this one year, there were a couple workers doing some maintenance on the house next door, while I was drinking rum in the shade of the coconut trees.  They were playing music, but kept it quiet and to themselves, until the end of the day, when everyone but one of them went home.  This one guy stayed behind to clean up.

Well, since he was alone, he took control of the boombox and played the following song on repeat for at least a dozen times in a row.

 

The song is so bloomin' bad, my wife and I were laughing our butts off each time it came on again.

 

Every now and then, I'll load it up on the stereo just to play the intro and annoy the Mrs.  (It's so bad!)

I'm afraid to click it. I've never heard this before  LOL

i thought we all had a gentleman’s agreement about not posting Paul McCartney! If we want to go down that route, he should get his own separate thread.

Apologies... I haven't read the entire thread.

Re: the first one, the Pickin On series is becoming more extensive.

That cover came from this album, which is focused on the 80's.

 

There are lots of other things they've done as well.
