There are lots of songs that come to mind that people think are by whoever they hear singing them at the time especially when the performers themselves are accomplished writers.
A good song sounds good by anybody...Tom Waits singing his own is a fine example of this...
I remember the first time I heard 'it's all over now' by the Stones and then the Valentinos and eventually Bobby Womack all diferent, all great versions. Just wait until one of the new 'boy' bands cotton on to all this fine musical heritage.
One of my foibles is collecting different versions of songs and I usually find that the original, by the writer is the best..As for Vin Garbutt, I really enjoy seeing him and look forward to him singing'Man of the Earth',which incidently I posted the lyrics once onto a thread in Mudcat because I wanted everyone to share the sentiments of such a fine song, however Vin always points out that it was written by Bernie Parry who as yet I've never heard.
Does Bernie sing any of Vins'?
