Subject: RE: Songs that have become another's 'own'
It seem more and more Celtic artist today are covering Dougie MacLean's "Ready For The Storm" for some reason. There's Deanta, Kathy Mattea, and Jennifer Licko (a local)... It's the Dougster's song, and no one sings it like him! I think it's a really good song, but I can't understand why so many people are covering it. It's not that thematically important, like "Rocky Top" or "I Can't Stop Loving You." I also wonder why it has make the crossover from a male to a female perspective?
