And Speaking of 12-String Guitar -- And Gorgeous
From 1965, please enjoy the great Beau Brummels and "You Tell Me Why."
You know, some band featuring an asshole whose name rhymes with Sleeve Nimels really should have done a cover of that back in the day.
What a great song. And what a great song one for an updated jangly cover by a band like The Allah-Las.
Leo Kottke did a cover version of You Tell Me Why on one of his singing Capitol albums.
I used to joke with friends that all new bands should do at least two obscure covers on their albums to give ... ahem ... older reviewers something to cite.
Never too late!
