August 27, 2008

Daughtry’s doing his part (probably thanks to some cash he’s getting from CNN) to encourage young, 1st time voters to make sure they’re registered and knowledgable about the presidential candidates. 

The real question is, are they knowledgable that this is a cover of Foreigner?

John Mayer covers “Free Fallin’”

August 11, 2008

John Mayer just recently put out a new DVD/CD called Where the Light Is, a performance well hyped from the singer/songwriter that happened last December in L.A.  At the show, Mayer peformed 3 seperate sets, an Acoustic, a set with the Blues Based John Mayer Trio, and a full band set.  The purpose was to show Mayer in all his glory, Acoustic Songwriter, Bluesman/Modern Day Guitar God, and Vocalist. 

The set features several covers, including Jimi Hendrix, Ray Charles, and Blues Staples, but the one most will gravitate to, is this Acoustic Performance of Tom Petty’s Classic “Free Fallin.’”

Matchbox Twenty’s Acoustic Performance of “Unwell”

August 4, 2008

If you missed last week’s Soundstage on PBS (Channel 11 if you get Chicago networks) then check out the video to the right for a great accoustic performance of the band’s hit “Unwell.”  Matchbox Twenty are at their best when they rework songs, either theirs or someone elses.  After Hurricane Katrina, Rob Thomas appeared on one of the many tribute/fundraiser shows and did a great version of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time.”  Watch that performance HERE
