DM Stith - Easy to Be Around (Diane Cluck cover)

[kid0indigo]

Not understanding the disapproval of this cover. DM took it to a place of his own, and im sure it has Diane's support. Heavy ghost is an awesome album!

THIS COVER SOUNDS A BIT, UH, OFF.

[theScytheofGod]

It doesn't have Diane's 'lilt'.

[ApacheLabel]

Better than miss cluck? NAY!!!!!!

Love this cover. Powerful, perfect.

And by Thanksgiving Moon I meant Heavy Ghost Apprentices, obviously.

[D4rkSh1neS]

@madeleinevincent It is probably on both. Heavy Ghost Appendices is a 2 cds album of demos, acoustic versions, covers, remixes related on Heavy Ghost, and so the songs that were on some EP/demos cds are gathered on the appendices.

@D4rkSh1neS I love the way I say Apprentices, instead of Appendices... hahahah

[madeleinevincent]

Hi D4, me again. Just noticed that you said this song is on Thanksgiving Moon, but it's actually on Braid of Voices. by the way, now I can't get enough of it.

[madeleinevincent]

By the way, about this version, it is indeed very good. I like it a lot; it's beautiful, rich and it's not obvious, I don't like obvious. However still not enough to make me forget Diane's. Hers has personal value to me, it takes me back a good 5 years, when I was having a particularly good time... so it's irreplaceable. But well done Stith, I bet Diane's very happy about this!

[madeleinevincent]

Thanks for this, D4. In the meantime I listened to a few other tracks and fell in love. Just went to iTunes and purchased all of his albums! You are to blame. Best wishes.

@madeleinevincent

I feel kind of glad to be to blame then :)
