Wilson Phillips' cover of GYOW

[CarneVaca]

It's soft and uninspiring. But I still like it better than the Cranberries' version. The Cranberries essentially tried to carbon-copy the music and layered a very bland vocal on top.

To me that is a bigger crime than trying to do something different and not quite making the target.

did not expect to at all, but ... I like it.

I'd almost say sorry

I whole-heartedly agree.

Wilson Phillips - Go Your Own Way
by Keith Caulfield

WILSON PHILLIPS Go Your Own Way (3:40)
PRODUCERS: Peter Asher, David Rolfe
WRITER: L. Buckingham
PUBLISHER: Now Sounds Music, ASCAP Columbia 58462 (CD promo)

Covering classic songs is a tricky endeavor. Listeners always compare the new version to the original, making more universally known songs the most difficult to cover. This is the case with Fleetwood Mac's seething rocker "Go Your Own Way." Many people know that Lindsey Buckingham wrote the song about his frustration with bandmate and ex-girlfriend Stevie Nicks. But Wilson Phillips, with its first single as a trio in 12 years, takes a light and airy, passive route. Now a ballad, the song floats by without any lingering impression. The harmonies are certainly lovely--just as they always were. But where is the gut-wrenching emotion of the original? "Go Your Own Way" is the lead single from Wilson Phillips' covers album, "California" (due May 25), which, fortunately, includes tastier remakes than this one.

I have heard their cover twice on KVIL (Dallas light rock station).

I know, I was just being sarcastic. They don't even look like themselves.
