If there has been a better cover than this it must be a cracker.a masterpiece from Guy Garvey.

Decent effort but doesn't come close to Glen Campbell's masterpiece for me

Re: Covers
Just to prove musical tastes vary hugely- I thought that Garvey effort was unimpressive. I say that as someone who got, and enjoyed, the first four Elbow albums 2001- 2008.

No. As wonderful as Campbell's version is, it's best sung by Webb himself. Webb's more ragged voice only serves to amplify the beauty of the greatest popular song ever written.ElectroClaret wrote:Campbell's song. (Courtesy of Jimmy Webb)

The Elbow version is pretty ropey though to be fair. The original recording by Campbell is amazing and takes me to Kansas and those long straight roads in the middle of nowhere that you associate with that part of the US whereas the Elbow version sounds like something cobbled together on a Friday morning as a last minute idea of what to play when invited to do something for the Radio 2 Breakfast Show. It’s a pretty bog standard cover of a song with no thought or feeling put into it.
Has anyone seen this version of Stairway to Heaven that has Robert Plant welling up by the way? Not my favourite cover by the way but it’s pretty impressive.

Re: Covers
I think there will be some just creaming over this because A) it’s elbow, and B) it was done live on the “Chris Evans with tits” breakfast show.
My own observation being that they are BOTH a little pretentious.
Hundreds and hundreds of better covers out there. I’m off to look for some links on the yootoob.
Here’s one that blows elbows effort right out the water.

Re: Covers
Not really : since the very first recording, albeit never released, was Webb's demo sent to Campbell of a song that wasn't finished yet as it was a verse short. It never has been finished...BFCmaj wrote:Webb’s version is a cover of Campbell’s version of Webb’s song!
Webb also takes some of Campbell's versions back to how they were intended. Not so much this one but he's pretty down on how 'Galveston' was arranged for example.

Heard this yesterday morning on Radio 2(including the coughing). Some things are better just left alone to stand the test of time. Most things by Glen Campbell fit that category.

Despite the bum notes from Cobain at around 2:48, quite superb, and IMHO, better than the original.

The Teddy Bears 'To Know Him Is To Love Him' was covered a number of years by the incomparable trio of Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. Three vocalists of the highest quality who enhanced an already classic song.
