Cover Wars: Skin It Back Edition

[Originally Published: June 24, 2009]

Following up on last week’s Willin’ Cover Wars, which the Black Crowes won by a small margin over Uncle Tupelo, we’re re-running an old Cover Wars on another Little Feat classic – Skin It Back…

Skin It Back is a track off the 1974 Little Feat album Feats Don’t Fail Me Now. It also has the distinction of being the first Little Feat song where the songwriting credits are solely that of guitarist Paul Barrère.

This is the second Little Feat song selected for CW. Longtime readers might remember that Mule was the winner of the Spanish Moon Cover Wars. [Ed. note – We’ve tackled Willin’ since this was originally posted]

Let’s get down to business and look at this week competitors…

With Pearl Jam taking a breather, Stone Gossard has had the opportunity to get back together with his friends in Brad, to finally release their fourth full length CD Best Friends?, and head out on the road for some shows across the United States. It’s a strong recording, with songs that are moody and spirited, a little funky here and a little psychedelic there.

Mayer Hawthorne/Gordon Voidwell/Soap Collectors: Alladin Theater, Portland, OR 11/9/10

While the Aladdin’s sound is crystal clear and is a wonderful place to see a concert, the number of empty seats impacted the energy.  Only a third full, the Mazda2 tour could have rolled into the Doug Fir Lounge and blown up.  However, “beggars can’t be choosers”, or “haste makes waste”, whatever mom used to say.  Mayer Hawthorne and the County are movin’ on up.
