“I Don’t Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)” (Bob Dylan electric cover) [Ep 2, Fall 2011]
By Federico Borluzzi:
A cover of Bob Dylan’s ”I Don’t Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)” from his Another Side Of Bob Dylan LP (1964). Played with electric guitar and harmonica in the key of D.
[Editor’s Note: It is my great pleasure to add this electric cover song music video to the blog from our friend Federico. It has been a great while since our previous season of Guest Sessions aired, but clearly Federico hasn’t slacked off in his devotion to the guitar, harmonica, or singing in the meantime. This is, without a doubt, the best Dylan cover I’ve heard from him, and in all honesty, I’m downright jealous of his note-perfect performance. So, without further ado, I leave you to watch his music video, and I doubt you’ll only watch it once.]
“A Horse With No Name” (America Cover)
By Jeff Copperthite:
Good evening to you. It’s Jeff Copperthite today with www.guitarbucketlist.com. Today I bring you my first tune from America, which is a band I have been slowly getting into the past 2 years or so.
After our live show at Testa’s Saturday night (which was GREAT! Look for some pictures and video soon on our site), we had a fan request an America song after our 2nd song, so we gave it to him. That made me want to play more, so yesterday I learned the song that I bring you today.
I also know this is one of the most well-known songs by America (and in the world for that matter). I love the strumming pattern and the chords that go with this song. When you hear the song you think it’s tough to play. I hope that this cover is appreciated by the die-hard America fans, as I am slowly joining your ranks the more I hear their music.
I also had the privilege of seeing them in concert this past year (w/ Jim Fusco and Chris Moore as well), and of course they closed their show with this song, and a 3 minute guitar solo by Gerry.
You can’t go wrong with this song. I hope you enjoy today’s edition and come back every day for a new song at https://guitarbucketlist.com/!
Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, Jeff’s acoustic cover song music videos are no longer on YouTube, but we decided to keep his cover song blog posts up. We figured these music blog entries would be good for posterity’s sake and because Jeff always gave such insightful posts each Session. We hope to see Jeff’s impressive catalog of acoustic rock songs here on the Laptop Sessions cover songs and origianal music blog again in the future. But, for now, please make sure to check-out hundreds of other acoustic cover songs from all of your favorite bands here on the Laptop Sessions music blog!
“Someday” (Sugar Ray Cover)
By Chris Moore:
Hello and welcome to your Columbus Day offering from the best acoustic cover song blog in the universe! For all you loyal Laptop Sessions surfers, I’m taking you back to the late nineties, a time of great musical awakening for me. As I’ve mentioned before, I went through an oftentimes embarrassing phase of musical exploration that took me from sixties rock to then-contemporary nineties alternative rock, and everything in between. Nearly a decade later, I’m still very interested in sixties rock and nineties rock band, but it’s the aforementioned “everything in between” that’s embarrassing. I’m talking disco, eighties dance tracks, and some really cheesy soundtracks.
Oh, I tried it all…
But that’s not what I’m bringing you tonight. Rather, I’m bringing you a new band to the music blog, a band that found mid-nineties success with their Billboard Hot 100 #1 “Fly” — Sugar Ray! I remember buying their third album, 14:59, for the songs “Every Morning” and “Someday.” And I never really understood the title of the album, but I just read the Wikipedia post about the band tonight and found out. And now I’ll share… isn’t that the beauty of these posts?
Apparently, critics suggested that Sugar Ray would be a one-hit wonder after “Fly,” and that they would never have success again. As a tongue-in-cheek response, Mark McGrath and the boys of Sugar Ray titled their album 14:59 to refer to the fact that their “fifteen minutes of fame” were not up quite yet. And right they were! “Every Morning” was a #3 hit and “Someday,” the song that I recorded for tonight’s Laptop Session, reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. This song really took me back, and it is actually one of the reasons that I chose another turn-of-the-millennium track for my next music video, namely John Mellencamp’s “Your Life is Now.”
So, can you believe it? I’m on track for three new bands in a row by Thursday. And it’s a good thing that I have my John Mellencamp video recorded and ready to go, since I don’t want to miss a moment of the post-Bound for Glory TNA Impact! They really “crossed the line” and “sacrificed” their safety and well-being to bring the fans a “respect”-able Pay-Per-View on Sunday… (If you watch TNA, then I hope you enjoyed those quoted keywords…)
Well, that’s all for me for now. I look forward to possibly seeing you again on Thursday, after you’ve hurried back for Jeff’s Tuesday session and been amazed and inspired by the musical stylings of Jim Fusco on Wednesday (and NO I am NOT trying to suck up to Jim because he spent a half hour talking about my upcoming album tonight, which he will be producing and maybe even writing for!!).
(Okay, maybe it is…)
See you next session!
