From 2000 and their album Evolver (heh), please enjoy The Kennedys and their absolutely seraphically lovely cover of The Byrds' classic "Here Without You."
Written by Gene Clark, natch; apparently one of his earliest.
In any event, I had forgotten that on side one of the Byrds debut album, it's followed by "The Bells of Rhymney." If there's a more spine-tingling segue in the history of both rock and roll, I'm unaware of it.
Wow, that is good, Steve.
ReplyDeleteThey have the Byrds down to a T.
And The Hounds use to do a really sweet version of "Bells of Rhymney" live back in 1974-5!

We did? Swear to god, I didn’t remember.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I think you or TMFKASR had enlightened me to The Kennedys back in teh Evolver time period. From their website I guess they are still a going concern on the East Coast with recent new music, I'll have to check that out.
ReplyDeletewhat a great song
ReplyDeletePeter Holsapple and Chris Stamey did a great version on their Mavericks album:
