Cover songs can do favours to their musicians. They can make them successful like they did in the case of Juice Newton. Yes, I know, the fact her biggest hits are mostly the pieces by the other people shouldn't suggest anything, because her versions of them eventually became the most famous ones of them all. I mean, the tune in the link doesn't really differ from the original arrangement-wise, yet I think Mrs. Newton's voice fits the mood of the song much better. She has a certain swagger present in her vocals, which transforms the entire composition in a more ebbulient athmosphere. Whereas Dave Edmunds sounds like he's close towards the desperation, Juice Newton seems to be having a lot of fun during the whole enterprise.

Lloyd Green & Jay Dee Maness

A Journey To The Beginning: Tribute To The Byrds (2018) … imaginative steel …

#LloydGreen#JayDeeManess

[desertsquiet]

Gram’s vocals transform the song. The mix of pain and exuberance in his voice suggest a deeper meaning to the lyric than perhaps even Haggard realized. Haggard’s version is a straightforward prison lament:

My life will be a burden every day

If I could die my pain might go away

Over Hillman’s old school walking bass line, Earl Ball’s deranged whorehouse piano, and Jay Dee Maness’ spacey theremin-like steel lines, Gram finds increasing release in the bleak lyrics. He briefly turns into a prep-school boy with his English “rawther” pronunciation, but roars back in full voice to change the song’s meaning in the final verse. When Gram sings “My life will be a burden every day”, it’s clear that at age twenty-two he has cut to the heart of country music’s inescapable pain. It’s the pain of self-loathing, the prison of being inside of one’s head when one’s own head offers no kind of refuge. Gram turns “Life in Prison” into Samuel Beckett: The life that burdens him is his own, the prison his identity. The only release is death: “If I could die, my pain might go away.” - David N. Meyer, Twenty Thousand Roads. The Ballad of Gram Parsons and His Cosmic American Music

Note: 7/10

Et si c’était le meilleur de Ringo? Tout n’est pas parfait, mais quelques vraies perles et une ensemble qui se tient. Avec d’excellents invités, notamment en guitare, et pas que Clapton. Instant Amnesia est un superbe morceaux, rock, très bien construit avec des passages psychés et humoristiques. Superbe solo de EC sur Imagine Me There. Aussi un superbe Elizabeth Reigns, où se retrouvent des sonorités très Beatlesiennes. Fait avec talent. Un très bon disque.
