In light of my involvement with 'The Village' project, I have put together a playlist of some of my favorite cover versions of songs that were written by artists living in or passing through Greenwich Village during the '50s, '60s, and '70s.
Seems like a destined musical marriage. I hope they got to play and sing together while they shared the planet.
Feels kind of like just the two of us in a subway station between trains.
Bare and beautiful. Not sure Jimi always gets his proper due as a songwriter, but he has always been one of my favorites.
I have two Fred Neil songs on this list, and this one is included purely because I have an unabashed affection for Bill Withers.
The first couple times I heard this record, I didn't realize this was a Dylan Song, even though I knew the original version pretty well. When I figured out it was, I liked it even more.
1. Amos, you're absolutely one of my all-time favorites! Even tho' I'm a "child of the 60's" I try to search out singer/songwriters with soul and you are at the top of the list. Great song selections, by the way.
When are you coming to the LA area? Saw you in Portland, OR several times.
