mjzee Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I want to put in a good word for this new release that, while not jazz, sounds pretty good nonetheless. Marc Cohn's taken 12 songs that debuted in 1970 and, along with John Leventhal, has done a folky/modern take on these. You know the songs (Wild World, Maybe I'm Amazed, After Midnight, Tears of a Clown, Into The Mystic). Marc's voice is well-suited for them. Some are close to smooth rock, others have some surprising arrangements (New Speedway Boogie as swamp rock?). I liked seeing on the same disc songs by Bread and the Dead (who didn't have this sort of duality in tastes as a kid?) and John Lennon solo and Paul McCartney solo (ditto). Anyway, if you get a chance, check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I didn't think I'd care one bit about this but I heard him do Wild World on GMA, & it sounded pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
