44: Covers Twice As Nice, part 5

Hi.

The twice as nice cover-section is back in town!

One of the most beautiful versions of Strange Fruit I know

is done by former Soft Machine's Robert Wyatt,

though the Billie Holiday version is ofcourse one

that's really "hard to beat".

The rather cheesy Donovan song stays rather cheesy here,

both versions :-)

Steely Dan is covered like a million times or so,

here's 2 great versions.

Enjoy.

1. 1860 Band - California Dreaming (5:48)

2. Baby Huey - California Dreaming (4:47)

3. Juju Orchestra - Do It Again -

ft. Carolyn Leonhart & Robert Smith (4:51)

4. Cassandra Wilson - Strange Fruit (5:29)

5. Dixie Cups - Iko Iko (1:57)
