Amazed that Bowie cover has not graced Coverville before. I think this was recorded in 1974 and was unreleased. I just read Bowie recorded, but did not release, “Growin’ up” for his covers album “Pin ups” (though I hear it is now included). Obviously a fan of the Springsteen album (his best lyrically I think). Maybe the Mayor of Coverville could find that “Growin’ up” cover…?
Oh and I only have another 95 to go to equal the Come on Eileen covers you have!
It seems to me that the Tracy Bonham cover of This Must Be the Place owes a lot to Shawn Colvin’s fine version of the song on the Cover Girl albumn.
Aarrgh! I’m listening to the Musically Challenged quiz and I’m going to claw my eyes out! How can someone as immersed in music as you are not know “She’s a Woman” by the Beatles? I just don’t get it.
On a lighter note, I truly loved the Tracy Bonham cut. And the Bowie track was … interesting. Very Bowie.
