I’ve saved this cover for last for a number of reasons. For one, I’ve never really listened to Bluegrass before, and this song prompted me to grab a few podcasts and dive in. Not necessarily my style of music, but it’s good to branch out and listen to a condensed version of a music genre [...]
I came to this song rather randomly – it was playing during a particularly pensive point in an episode of House. I don’t remember what was happening, but there was a lot of uneasiness as to whether or not is was Lupus. Or something.
There is absolutely nothing that I can say about this cover that has any more effect than just listening to it.
I’ve got a tendency to randomly put covers of Since U Been Gone on mix tapes I make for my girlfriend without realizing it, and this is still my favourite.
I discovered Obadiah Parker, and Mat Wheddle purely via this cover, and it’s always been one of my favourite random-song-to-acounstic covers.
