More Cover Songs

Some more cover tunes.
Cash’s “Fulsom Prison Blues” Done sort of rockabilly style.
Dave Van Ronk’s arrangement of “House of the Rising Sun” as an homage to the prison gang work songs.
Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt”. Anyone who has ever been an addict has a connection to this song.
Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire” - One of the Boss’ best, and possibly the most poignant song about animal lust ever written. A favorite from my youth.
Another favorite from my youth, Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight”. This recording is frankly horrible and unusable for anything but posting to the Internet. I got too carried away and pegged the meters during recording so be prepared for clipping.
Yet one more old favorite. I always loved Jim Croce. The guitar is in Open D tuning to better emulate some of the dual guitar stuff on the original.
