By Chris Moore:
This is an outtake from a recent recording for the Laptop Sessions. I just had to share it, and I hope you find it as enjoyable as I did. (Keep in mind that this is completely unscripted — this is exactly how it happened; this is precisely my natural reaction!) I think it speaks for itself…
Check back for a new Original Wednesday Laptop Session, to be posted in about an hour or so.
National Ransom (Elvis Costello, 2010)
(November 2, 2010)
Review:
Aside from a few sparking moments and a couple notable tracks, National Ransom feels more like a collection of sixteen songs that didn’t make the cut for Secret, Profane, and Sugarcane, which was in every way a more engaging, dynamic, and cohesive effort.
Top Two Tracks:
“A Slow Drag With Josephine” & “Five Little Words”
Around Christmas Day, Jim Fusco (a musician, singer, and songwriter who’s recorded over 220 cover song music videos on YouTube) reached 800,000 total views on his videos! Jim began posting videos in late 2007 and is now 80% towards his goal of a million total views. Jim has recorded these cover song music videos in his home studio and prides himself on doing songs in the original key. But, his solo acoustic renditions give songs new life and a fresh perspective. Since the start of the Laptop Sessions, Jim Fusco’s goal has been to put an end to bad YouTube cover videos forever!
Jim’s cover song music videos have been featured in many Top 10 Cover Songs lists and at this point, he pretty much holds the title of most cover song music videos ever recorded by one artist! Join Jim Fusco on his quest to rule the world of cover songs both on https://guitarbucketlist.com and http://youtube.com on a weekly basis!
