Got me thinking of country stuff - this is one of my favourites from Emmylou. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Also by Emmylou, this gem - beautiful guitar solo from one of the stellar players on this album, (possibly Amos Garrett.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munurmunuh Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 The Dolly Parton cover of Help! sounds exactly as you would expect it to. Ditto The Damned cover of Help! Ditto the Oasis cover of I Am The Walrus. Ditto the Cilla Black cover of Norwegian Wood. None of them are the equal of the Sisters Of Mercy cover of Dolly Parton's Jolene, so I've spared clogging up the thread with unnecessary links 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Always liked this, too. Edited January 8, 2021 by wateroftyne 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyP Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I've just remembered this one. I saw Ray perform it on the old Andy Williams show where Ray was on video singing all the parts. He does All the vocals and plays some of the instruments - too clever by half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I like this cover too. Although maybe it should be renamed 'While my guitar bawls in a rage' 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudewheresmybass Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I saw a band in the late eighties/ early nineties called detritus. they used to do their version of help in a post Metallica thrash kind of style. Unfortunately it isn’t held for posterity on YouTube 😢 It was thoroughly enjoyable though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevL Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Fair point. I'm pretty sure I knew that it wasn't a Beatles' original but my memory failed me. Thanks for keeping me right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, most of the versions posted above are such complete and utter **** that I am genuinely staggered that anyone would waste a few electrons on posting them anywhere except to Trump supporters they're trying to wind up. I guess you would be including the Pixies version of "Honey Pie" (which I posted) in that statement I do genuinely love the Pixies version.......but had never heard the Beatles version until 5 minutes before posting here. Can't say I'm that keen on the Beatles version, but I guess if you like the Beatles version then the Pixies version would sound bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So It's good that SRV has made a version which removes the conflict 😉! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
