Yeah, she’s got it down on the uke, but it was garbage even when Elvis sung it. Adult singers are much worse since they should know better, like this FAIL , this FAIL and THIS MAJOR LEAGUE FAIL .
Now THIS is how to do an Elvis Cover right.

[BTW, Steve Goodman was the guy who co-wrote and recorded the best damn country song ever . He also wrote and recorded the best damn train song ever .]

Lake Street Dive sings “Take On Me . ”
That’s not A-ha’s version , but it’s a lot better. At least she doesn’t have to hike up her chonies to hit the high notes. The bass player is hot and the trumpet dweeb is killer.
VIDEO
Ry Cooder is a classic American guitarist. You’ve heard his stuff even if you don’t know his name. Watch for Harry Dean Stanton in this clip.
VIDEO

Fishbone was, and is, one of the tightest high-speed ska bands I ever heard. [The above is dedicated to Professor Christine Ford , whose evil testimony under oath has been proven to be fabricated in order to impune the character of an innocent man.]
VIDEO
One of the best slide guitar players in the business. Ry Cooder ‘s 1988 swamp rock take on Elvis ‘ “All Shook Up ” was awesome.
VIDEO
Killer stuff from Justin Johnson . Turn it up. It’s the musical equivalent to stress on the 405 through L.A. at rush hour and I love it.
Have a great weekend, folks, see you back here after I tear up my kitchen tomorrow.

VIDEO
Ry Cooder took the slide guitar and shoved it right though my temporal lobes with his 1987 album “Get Rhythm .” It’s a must-have if you like Swamp Rock.

Unusual animation from the 1980s. It reminds me of Terry Gilliam ‘s “Brazil ” from the same period, and it’s apropos, given yesterday’s #Brexit vote in the UK.
VIDEO
Ry Cooder ‘s version of Johnny Cash ‘s “Get Rhythm ” (from the album of the same name) is introduced by Harry Dean Stanton . Cooder’s swamp rock take of Elvis’ “All Shook Up ” is killer.
VIDEO
PeteR recommended Black Country Communion featuring Glenn Hughes , so here he is, there they are, and here we go.
Have a great weekend, folks, and if we’re not rockin’ tomorrow we’ll be rollin’.
