9. Gold Dust Woman [Karen Elson]

Seeing the original list of artists I was wondering
could there possibly be two tribute albums??? But
no, after receiving an email from Third Man Records
confirming Elson's performance I guess we have only
one. Let's hope it's much better than the Legacy
tribute.

I was going to skip this, but I realize I've met and/or gotten drunk with a few people on it.

This is really the only one I'm looking forward to; and really hoping Neko Case is on vocals.

Eidt: And...just listened, and she's not and oh well.

Karen Elson doing Gold Dust Woman could be interesting, if it makes the tracklist.

(BTW, f*ck that guy behind the Marshall amp filming this from the band's perspective. He looks like a total douche. Betcha he's a real drunk pr*ck.)

Not the version that'll be included but still a nice cover!

NPR's All Songs Considered is streaming Best Coasts cover of "Rhiannon"
http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/20...?sc=tw&cc=twmp

"Best Coast covers Fleetwood Mac's 1975 smash "Rhiannon" on a forthcoming tribute album — a task which clearly requires quite a bit of reverence, to the point where singer Bethany Cosentino even channels Stevie Nicks' warbling rasp. And, while the song's familiar guitar line is replaced with a dramatically simplified piano melody, the result captures the melancholic yearning of "Rhiannon" — its mystical side, its understanding of unattainable love — without losing the beach-bound giddiness of Best Coast's simple, shiny sound. (Which should come as no surprise: Few albums this year mix shininess with melancholy quite like Best Coast's The Only Place.)

Best Coast's "Rhiannon" cover will appear on Just Tell Me That You Want Me: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac, out August 14. The New Pornographers' version of "Think About Me" is already kicking around, while other album participants include Antony Hegarty, MGMT, Marianne Faithfull, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, St. Vincent, Lykke Li, The Kills and many others."

You can take a listen to Oh Well, Rhiannon, and Think About Me.

Ummmm...I guess they meant "just like the song was original written".

Yes, the song was written on piano, but that's not how the song was originally written... the chord progression in the Best Coast version is totally different.


Not to mention that their cover is the most horrible thing I have ever laid ears on and I wish I had never clicked play. So many questions: namely, WHY.

It is bad ..but to be fair Stevie Nicks originals are very difficult to cover .For the most part La Nicks herself is the only one that can make them really work.A testament to her originality.

^THIS. I agree 100%.

Here's a soundcloud link for all 4 songs now officially available. On my way to work they had also released Landslide & Future Games, but have since updated and removed them when I just went to post the link!

Giving major props to Silver Springs..WAY better than the live post I found last week. Stays true to the original yet makes it sound 'modern' if that's even accurate. I don't know but I'm digging it!!

Rhiannon..not so much but then again what would we be satisfied with?!

Really, I think SS blows hard!

I really like Silver Springs by Lykke Li, Rhiannon by Best Coast is something of a disappointment though, but there are no words to describe how much I like the New Pornographers cover of Think About Me, I've had it blasting in my car all week.
