Welcome, welcome to yet another edition of “I Can’t Believe It’s My Night Already” here on the Laptop Sessions with me, Jim Fusco!  Tonight, I bring you a great song from Eric Clapton, and yes, his solo work counts as yet ANOTHER new band here on the best music video blog in the universe!

So, we keep the hits on comin’ and I’m here tonight to slow it down a bit with this song, “Let It Grow”.   It’s got a great tune with a nice feel to it.  I hope you’ll also like my rendition of Jim Fusco’s classic “vocal guitar solo”.  I think it came out great and I’m pretty proud of this Laptop Session, mostly because of how great my Zoom H2 microphone picks it all up.

I’ll be doing more from Clapton in the future, although I wouldn’t really consider myself a “fan”.  I just have these random obsessions, and it’s great to have the Laptop Sessions as an outlet to get it out of my system for a while.   I’ve had an obsession with this song for many years- one of those ones that comes up on random and I scream, “Oh YEAH!”

Anyway, enjoy tonight’s Laptop Session, on time, as usual

“Don’t Know A Thing About Love” (Ringo Starr Cover)

Hey HEY!  Welcome to your Sunday, Sunday, Sunday fix of The Laptop Sessions with me, Jim Fusco!  Am I the only one excited to still bring you these on a daily basis?  Sure, it’s a pain, but so is seeing your in-laws…and I’m sure everyone does that more often than they’d like to.

Tonight, I bring you a song that I simply LOVE.  That kinda fits because Ringo Starr is all about peace, love, and understanding.  He’s a cool dude, and even though he didn’t write this song, I still love it.  This was from Ringo’s first “comeback” album, “Time Takes Time”, one of my favorites growing up in the early 90s.  This is the first album he did with the Roundheads and the sounds is just so classic to me.

This album is the last one before he started to write almost every song.  If you’ve been to the music blog before, you know that I’m a HUGE fan of people writing their own songs.  But, Ringo did know how to pick some great ones including “Weight of the World”, which I’ll also be doing as a cover song at some point here on the best video blog online!

This song has a great tune, a great message, and a good beat.  Sounds like a great song to me!  Plus, I get to sing like Ringo, which is always so much fun.  Don’t worry, I didn’t do an impersonation, though!  I hope you enjoy the video — a send-off for summer, fitting that a teacher was up next: one, Chris Moore!!

“Thought I Knew” (Weezer Cover)

Welcome back to the best acoustic rock cover songs music blog on the Internet! What a mouthful…

It’s my pleasure today to bring you a new song from Weezer’s 2008 self-titled album, also known as The Red Album. This is, of course, a nod to their past self-titled albums that were colored blue (The Blue Album) and green (The Green Album). To be certain, Weezer had a lot to live up to when they released their album this year, and I was a bit put off by the remix of “Automatic” that leaked to YouTube videos via a video game trailer.

Then I bought the album and fell in love with it!

Well, to be honest, I found the album a bit quirky at first. I couldn’t decide if I thought the lyrics were catchy or cheesy. The first few songs had so many different sections and styles that it was difficult to get a handle on them. But, after a few listens, I had already decided that this was one of my favorite albums of the year. Aside from some great, catchy, upbeat, rocking, and experimental tracks by frontman Rivers Cuomo, the other three members of the band all contributed in the songwriting and singing departments.

I especially enjoyed “Thought I Knew” by guitarist Brian Bell from the first time I heard it, which is why I chose it as my first Laptop Session from The Red Album. I hope you enjoy it as well, and I can’t wait to play more from this great album!
