Maybe Country Air

 

Country Air

Can't remember hearing any covers. If I did I guess I wasn't impressed.

 

Not sure if I have heard any covers. If I had it would have been at a Brian Wilson show.

 

Voted "Aren't You Glad".

Never heard any covers but I've heard the song "Darlin'" was based on.

 

This is nice.

 

Kind of cheating here as it is not "really" a cover (depending on who you talk to) but I love hearing John Cowsill OWN this song when he sings it with the touring BBs.

 

Voting For "Country Air".

"Wild Honey" covered by Nazareth:


Edit: I actually didn't view the video (which was the only one of the song) before I posted, it says on YouTube that it's "Age-restricted", in case someone's sensitive...

 

Smog alert: "Country Air"

 

I think John Cowsill is the best singer of the current or former Beach Boys at the present time.

I voted for (against) "Wild Honey".

 

I can't believe Here Comes the Night was voted off already. Though better instrumentation would have improved it (it sounds more like a demo here), it's a really catchy song and for me a highlight of the album. Mind you, I really like the later disco version too.

I'm going with Country Air, because as many times as I've heard this LP, I have no idea how that song even goes.

Don't think I've heard any covers, but I'm gonna see where I can find that Nazareth "Wild Honey"....

 

Aw booooo! Country Air is one of my favourites!

 

I agree about Here Comes the Night. Probably my favorite song on one of my favorite Beach Boys albums.

 

You Aren't Glad

Of course Country Air is better. It's a scientific fact.

DQ: uhhhhhh... guess not.

 

Mine too. Listening to "Country Air" makes me happy.

 

DQ:

 

Sorry, I love it too, but I had to choose something

 

You are forgiven. I can still listen to it.

 

It's on their 1976 album Play 'n' The Game, I don't think it's on any compilation. It's cool to hear someone nail the melody while singing full throttle (and they've actually raised the key a whole step too), instead of just having to guess what the high notes are supposed to be.

 

Country Air.

DQ: I couldn't for the life of me think of any covers. Digging the ones that have been posted.

 

These threads make no sense. You end up with the strongest track on the album, not the weakest one.

 

A cover version, but I don't know it was on a record anywhere:

 

Ever see the game show THE WEAKEST LINK? Or the TV reality show SURVIVOR? Same principle.

I'm not feeling the Cassidy magic on this particular number.
