TAG: CROOKED FINGERS

So covers month is over. I posted a cover a day for the entire month. But I’ve posted covers before, including at least two I nearly posted again and one I accidentally did (and then deleted).

Here are the other covers I’ve posted.

Frank Turner - Thunder Road (Originally by Bruce Springsteen)

Crooked Fingers - When You Were Mine (Originally by Prince)

Lilly Allen/Mark Ronson - Oh My God (Originally by Kaiser Chiefs)

Johnny Cash - Hurt (Originally by Nine Inch Nails)

The Gaslight Anthem - Once Upon A Time (Originally byRobert Bradley’s Blackwater Surprise)

The White Stripes - Jolene (Originally by Dolly Parton)

Originally by Bruce Springsteen

All posts in the month of August will be covers.

My love of this song predates my love of Springsteen and was probably my gateway to the Boss.

The first time I heard this band was at Michigan Fest in 2002. Everyone was waiting for the next band to set up, and then suddenly, in the middle of the crowd 3 guys just started playing and belting out an amazing cover of Prince’s When You Were Mine.  A couple of songs later, they moved the stage, plugged in, and I was hooked.

This song is from an  EP called Reservoir Songs. Five songs, all covers, all amazing.
