Paul Anka y su “Rock Swings”: rock con bronces al fondo.


Mitad canadiense, mitad libanés, un Anka versión teen conseguía éxito en Nueva York. ¿Cómo? Cantándole a la nana. “ Diana ” pasaría a la historia como el segundo single de jazz más vendido de la historia. Un tema compuesto de pendejo, para la empleada que lo cuidó de chico y lo calentó de más grande.

Millonario sub 18, la Anka history is full of reinventions. With a million copies sold, having traveled the world with Buddy Holly (the same who later was to kill both aircraft flying around), had to do something to plug into a more adult audience to his music . And so, dressed like a pack rat to Sinatra, writing like crazy and launching his career as an actor, he managed to hit the stick at the cat, the sophistication of the era and playing live nightclub Copacabana, NY.

So he did what Glup! (?) Never did.

And so far, has survived more or less active. For example, has done and some movies to music, and he wrote "She's a lady " to Tom Jones.

That is until 2005, when he came to make a covers album in key swing. "Jazz? "Rock Swings" the legendary label Verve , sounds like a nightclub, a drink-with-olive-green-in-glass-wide music Goodfellas, Casino , and all in which De Niro shooter makes bad. Well, and also Home Alone 2 making traps for the thieves in NY

In its worst moments, the disc sounds like a last-song-of-disco. Yes, when you are casting and the lights on. That happens with "Black Hole Sun." Terrible.

The straight out of the movie "Ghost the shadow of love" and ends giving you nightmares is the experiment we did with " Love Cats" by The Cure . Do not go down.

: 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.
