Oh! Sweet Nuthin’

António Manuel Dias — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 18:09:39 +0000

Hello again.

A Velvet Underground original, from the Loaded album, and covers by The Black Crowes, My Morning Jacket and Phish. I love this song — hope you do, too. Enjoy

Comment on the Phish’s video page:

“Not many people bought Velvet Underground records, but most of the ones that did went out and started their own bands…” -Unknown

I guess that’s the best compliment any band can get..”

No Rain

Hi there again. I just remembered this great song from Blind Melon and decided to make a post of several versions of it. This is it.

So, start with the original:

Proceed with an intimist acoustic version:

Jump to a jazzy, eerie beginning, acoustic version:

And end with the pure joy of a live performance with the vocals completely performed by the crowd.

Hope you have enjoyed it as much as I did.
Peace!

Lelia Broussard

I found Lelia Broussard while listening randomly to The Sixty One. Then I fell in love with the music and the voice. I bought the record, but it wasn’t enough, I had to share it. Here it is.

Playing a Bruce Springsteen cover, Danding in The Dark. In my opinion, way better than the original:

And now two live songs, just her and the guitar. It’s amazing, really! Masquerade and Armour on My Heart
