Another surprise from this past weekend's record show was finding the Nashville Teens covering Roy Wood's "Ella James" from The Move's "Message From the Country." I had no idea this record existed.
It's a pretty faithful version and a great addition to the collection of Roy Wood tracks by other people, like The Casuals' brilliant "Caroline," Ayshea's "Farewell," and Acid Gallery's "Dance Around The Maypole," all of which I have posted here before.
Sadly, the only version of the Nashville Teens track on YouTube is of questionanble quality. See below.
So, I thought I'd lead with another "Message From The Country" cover, this one from Marshall Crenshaw.
If you know any other not-so-obvious-as-CheapTrick Roy Wood covers, please send'em along.

Wow, hadn't heard either of these. Great additions to the collection of Roy Wood covers. Thanks.
Oops, didn't realize "No Time" was a Jeff Lynne tune. So it;s a great addition to Move covers '-)
I'd like to hear more Roy Wood or Move covers too. There are a lot of great songs there, but there aren't many covers. I've never heard these before.
