The lyrics and melodies might be the same, but I think the whole level changes when you're adding the Flat Five's harmonies and instrumentation. Jim From Taxi vs. The Cowsills is both funny and dead on. That's certainly how I hear it.<br /><br />And I did the same YouTube binge. Some of those covers are truly stellar. Might be worth a Weekend Mix.Sal Nunziatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221629293545204260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-38713060356978681282020-12-03T21:48:10.628-08:002020-12-03T21:48:10.628-08:00I also had their first #1 that year. big fan of th...I also had their first #1 that year. big fan of the Q and all related acts. one thing that surprises me is how close the source material is to the Flat Five versions. With Chris it is seen almost as outsider music but when these five talented players play them it is seen as homage to the glory days of sunshine 60's pop. he's cast as Jim from Taxi while TF5 something like The Cowsills. While Jonsing for the followup a while back I captured like 40 different tunes by them on YouTube. I'd be a regular at their rare gigs if I was close to Chicago.neal thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17613177396671180646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-21195228788178553012020-12-03T16:17:32.302-08:002020-12-03T16:17:32.302-08:00Hello all...no, please remain seated,

Instantly one of my fave songs of 2020.<br /><br />Being from the ATL, I've been a Kelly Hogan devotee since 1989 or so when she was with the Jody Grind. Some of my best concert memories from that decade are of seeing them.<br /><br />Since then, I've enjoyed her solo records and her touring work with Neko, but it didn't hit quite the same spot. This does. I'll be buying it!A Walk In The Woodsnoreply@blogger.com
