  • Summary

  • Covers: Jimi Hendrix once said that ““I've been imitated so well I've heard people copy my mistakes.” Tell me, why would somebody wish to perform another’s work? What is the artist actually thinking when they cover a song? Is it the knowledge that such a great song will be popular and make them money? Maybe. Could it be the fact that as you already know it to be a great song, you want to be personally associated with it? More likely, I suppose. Or moreover, perhaps it’s a personal statement, a song that you are proud to be associated with. I guess that’s the Crispy definition. Whatever it might be, it’s great that so many of us copy the hell out of each other, and this Deep Dive will bring you just a smidgeon – a scintilla - of the billions of amazing out there. Rest assured, Crispy will be revisiting the wonderful world of the cover version. But until then, grab a glass, sit back and enjoy some really talented people doing really talented stuff, with other people’s material. This is the wonderful world of covers.
