Title: Another 1967 BB Lounge-Style Cover
Post by: Shane on March 30, 2011, 09:28:46 PM
I just found another interesting cover from the 1960s... this time it's piano stylist Floyd Cramer's version of "Good Vibrations".  This instrumental version sounds almost like some long-lost outtake!  Somebody must have a had a really sharp ear to catch all the details buried in the original mono vesion.  Check it out!

And for those who missed it, I previously posted this interesting lounge version of Heroes and Villains:

If you're talking about tomorrows date, I might just log off for the day. It's not worth it  ;D

Floyd Kramer is an ace piano player, if only for On The Rebound which my dad was obsessed with when I was growing up, for some reason.

Fun!  Tho not up to Carmen McRae standards, of course.
I imagine there are lots of lesser known covers out there. I kinda like the Bakersfield Boogie Boys rendition of  IGA( rumored to be Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam)
