You could stick a very thick pick in the neck pocket gap of my old '63 P, still sounded awesome.

Bad Dog No Biscuit - Daron Norwood

Camberwell Grove, there’s posh! I remember Vestry Road, but Nandine’s is after my time.

Drank Like Hank - Brothers Osborne

Jesus Just Left Chicago - ZZ Top

Pink Cadillac - Loose Windscreen

I'm an ex-South Londoner. Born and raised in Camberwell. Dulwich Park was a regular haunt and my school's playing grounds were there too.

Gone Fishing - Bing Crosby

The tone at 1:51 is very Geddy Lee, minus his distortion. 👍

Copperhead Road - Steve Earle

At least ten years old on my Rob Allen. They are the same strings (black nylon, LaBellas) that it came with when I bought it 2nd hand.

Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette) - Tex Williams

Bands play Mustang Sally because it was in The Commitments. They play Sweet Home Alabama because that was in a film too. Alright Now was in a chewing gum ad. Films and TV have been responsible for many cover band staples. I think the reason these covers mostly suck is down to a, “That’ll do,” attitude.

Hi Heel Sneakers - Loads of folk

Ooh, that’s nice.

I Touch Myself - Divinyls

Bumble Boogie - B. Bumble and the Stingers

I think I may have found a way to stave off the bass and 2nd tier GAS, buy camera lenses and golf clubs!* *However, this devil may care attitude may bleed over into that which must not be bought. 😬

Flowers in the Rain - The Move

Eat The Rich - Aerosmith

The great Sean Hurley commented on this during an interview. Like many, he regularly turns his tone down a bit, but an engineer said to leave it wide open and let them change at the desk as required. Therefore, passive controls on full, active flat (if applicable). Don’t be put off when they spend ages getting a good drum and guitar sound, only to spend less than 10 seconds on the bass - ‘twas ever thus.

Herd It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye

Master of Puppets - Metallica
