: give me good cover! ((Second part)) Oldies but goldies

As promised, here is the continuation of artículonunca published in journalist's cut version. Now it Johnny Cash , the owner of American folk rock. Another old man who does good covers.

Johnny Cash: hurt when the cover exceeds original

The last 10 years of his life Cash were devoted to regularly attend record " American Recordings" series of five albums, the sixth and would be about to launch, which would make history when he was already a legend. And not vice versa.

Cash: "The issue is the spirit," he said. "The human spirit struggling to survive. Probably reflects some of the maturity that I have experienced the pain I have suffered from the disease ". A degenerative disease similar to Parkinson that led him to say goodbye to his guitar, his native Arkansas and its sui generis rebellion in September , 2003 .

In each of his deliveries, mix Cash songs written and what we meet in this ar you ass: the covers. The fiery voice, octogenarian, but warm the Man in Black squeezing your vocal chords: "I'm getting old. I have overcome with volunteers tad. I found the strength to make this disc or just away evil from me. Sometimes ib to the study without voice when I could have stayed home but did not want it that way. He came, he opened his mouth and tried to leave something. Recorded when was the last thing in the world I could do. And these are songs that had the fire, feeling, fervor and pa thereof. There are a lot of strength coming out of that weakness " he said of The Man Comes Around the fourth and cover of the disk array.

Rick Rubin (yes, the same one that just won the Grammy for Best Producer and he who gathered Aerosmith Run-DMC . A visionary) was the product tor friend who helped him record a studio to six weeks before his death. Ultimately, Rubin was the best doctor who gave Cash and many-to give us grace, more than those who had predicted the white coat.

Covered Covering all the issues that made Cash in one review is impossible . The list is tremendous. Since most obvious taxes, as Kris Kristofferson, Hank Williams and Tom Waits, through their peers Neil Diamond, Simon And Garfunkel and The Beatles and, of course, his friends Bob Dylan and Elvis .

That's not all. Of the current: Beck , Danzig , Soundgarden , U2 , Sting , Depeche Mode , The Eagles , Bruc and Springsteen and Nine Inch Nails fattening the payroll. About

" Hung My Head" by Sting , perhaps less like cover original l throughout the album: "It's the kind of song that I like. A tragic story, bleak. The songs of my people are songs of disaster and tragedy, death, murder and broken relationships ", says about the story of a stray bullet kills an innocent, according to the letter of the Police .

" My Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode can not be further from the folk of Cash, but anyway covereó the subject. "It simply the more evangelical gospel song that has recorded do. I do not know what the intention of aut or, but that is what is " , once justified. Of Depeche have not heard anything in response, but Marilyn Manson -covereó also the issue, "said a couple of years of Christian this song had nothing.

But of course the song that became known to a generation of disrespectful, ignorant, prejudiced against folk is Hurt, intellectual authorship Trent Reznor, indie rock dad and Nine Inch Nails .

Diablos how it hurts when the cover surpasses the original. As Joey Ramo ne did with "What a wonderful world " the abrupt end of his life, Johnny Cash with his invention replaced the inventor. "I think 'Hurt' is the best song against drugs I've ever heard (...) I was identified early" said Cash.

And that was enough to make "Hurt " an apology for his life, the best and the most remarkable autobiography video survivor's death.

Reznor, of course, acknowledged: "That song no longer belongs to me" , elegantly said goodbye to one of their favorite songs, if No never detract from the work of Cash , calling it "sincere and pure" .

In the song as four elements that are very strong in the work and existence of Clash: a poor childhood, his drug addiction, love June -woman-and her unconditional , obviously, pain, sensitivity lose, lose your guitar, you lose life.

What have I Become / My sweetest friend / Everyone I know goes away / In the end.

: give me good cover! (Part One)

Both American Idol and cover both punks makes us think that one day will not be original songs. Worse, we may forget who played the original song. I had to write this for the area during the summer, when, poisoned with the Festival de Viña, I review the dusty box of covers, and met with old songs made new. The people were good. Sometimes better. And that one came to Vina.

Unfortunately, for reasons darker and hairier than the pit of Pele, this article was never published. But here I start to show light. For parties, it was quite long.

Sir Tom Jones: borrow, like a gentleman

For Tim Burton you choose as the final character in one of his movies should be a dough monkey, have scissors in their hands or latex suit marked caramels. But if this is a happy ending to a movie where everyone dies, everyone from the U.S. president to the unflappable Pierce Brosnan, must be Welsh (yes, Wales ), having a hoarse voice and make a little gil.

In Mars Attacks! , the spoof Burtoniano sc fi i did see on screen as a delusional Jack Nicholson, Michael J. Fox a loser, as Pierce Brosnan and Sarah Jessica Parker chanta as a hot (well, it was the only director who did), Tom Jones breaks. Not only survives until the end of the film, but also closes singing "It's Not Unusual ", his song-hymn . Total Winner.

topic that is sure to close his performance played on the fifth this summer (did he? "He repeated? Did not see the festival), but q ue is not the only one we know around here. "Sex bomb " and " Burning down the house " are another s that ordinary Chileans and even identifies has performed in one or another party. But watch out, the second is a cover.

Yes, because this old man who managed to get sick with tuberculosis when he was a sub 10 made his career based on original themes, until in 1999 he came to launch a songs gives full versions, or covers. Named the album "Reload " (a zero for originality, Metallica had released 2 years earlier one with the same name) and was its resurrection in the world charts. In the meantime, had been engaged to sing in casinos in Las Vegas. As in Mars Attacks.

" Sex Bomb", written by Mousse T , turcogermano DJ and producer, is the single best-known album, but not the only good. "Burning down the house," the Talking Heads , cover with the Cardigans - " She drives me crazy " (for those who lack orthodontic Fine Young Cannibals ) and partying " Little green bag" (led by Barenaked Ladies ) the burst.

" Mama Told Me Not to Come " (from Randy Newman, cover with Stereophonics ) and " Never Tear Us Apart " (of INXS , vocalized by the exquisite Natalie Imbruglia) are only ok.

But "Lust for life " with Pretenders not give the likes of Iggy Pop and " Are you gonna go my way " (with Robbie Williams ) is too British accent to an average human. Yuck on both.

special case is "Sometimes we cry " (next to the very Van Morrison), although the voice of Sir Tom opaque to mate, is the perfect song to close the telethon. Don Francis interlocutions included. Snif.

Jones received a knighthood from the hands of the antediluvian Queen Elizabeth II of England hac and almost a year. Several months before his aides tried unsuccessfully image to take that air is x bomb outdated and, of course, could not. Elvis friend , all Beatles and also Sir Mick Jagger , Jones has s also been kidnapped by Mr. Burns on the Simpsons and the angel custom Carlton's guardian cousin nerd Will Smith in Fresh Prince.

A very kind gentleman that is, something has to freak. And enough to get him to repeat Viña ad nauseam: "It's not unusual to be ...."
