Who covered Blackbird?
« on: August 27, 2004, 12:23:22 AM »

I was listening to the radio today and there was some female singing Blackbird. Any knowledge as to who it might be?

Sarah McLachlan or however her name is spelled........she covered it for the I Am Sam soundtrack, I believe.........so there's a good chance that may have been it.

The Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young version is good too.

Kenny Rankin did a real nice version but that's not who you heard and it was done like 25, 30 years ago.

never mind.

I found this instrumental cover of Blackbird and thought it was very beautiful, so I wanted to share it here. One of the most appealing things to me are the lyrics to this song, but I also adore its gentle acoustic nature. I really like this rendition:

They left the diacritical marks off the artist's name, which is Miloš Karadaglić.

That was lovely!  And this is a nice thread revival.

Here's a string quartet cover...

Thanks for sharing those, Barry. I really loved the string quartet, and the bluegrass rendition was interesting.

I read that Blackbird was at least partially inspired this Bach piece. I love Baroque music, so this was a treat to listen to:

Thanks for posting that Normandie. Yes, Paul has told that story of coming up with Blackbird from that piece by Bach.

As I was watching I was thinking we all go on about great guitar players like Clapton/Page etc but I doubt any of them could play a guitar like Edson Lopes. Such timing, precision, clarity (not 1 unclear note) such skill.

Here's another..

When I took blues guitar lessons, Ian taught me the Bach Bourrée so I could wow girls at parties...

The Bourrée was a favorite of Ian Anderson too...

Now, if Johann Sebastian Bach had an electric guitar, the Bourrée in E Minor would have sounded like this...

I was thinking last night, nimrod, about how you and all the other musicians here can assess (evaluate? I'm drawing a blank on the best word) music in this manner, rather like I do with authors and writing. (Music, however, is so much more fun!)

I, on the other hand, can only offer observations that don't get much more sophisticated than "It sounds pretty" or "I really like that."  ha2ha

I liked all of those clips, Barry, and I Googled the Son of a Bach group because their take was so unique.

I noted this statement on their website (emphasis added): "Son of a Bach is composed of two brothers, Florian (drums) and Johannes Weik (guitar), as well as their friend Julian Helms (sound)."

Sound?? Is that an industry term or a joking diss at their friend?  ;)
