Calexico - Alone Again Or (LOVE Cover) Rock Werchter 2006

This is a great version......im pretty sure Bryan would have approved...man it swings!....the original vocals were beautiful....but they were studio stuff....this is just as good as they will get

Jim

love the Spanish guitar, fantastic version!

Bryan MacLean wrote the song. The Damned's version is good as well as the rock band UFO. THe original Love version is the best..

Not bad. Talented musicians,but their vocals sound too boyish and average and lacking in the soul and passion that "Love" had. It's like trying to copy a Picasso.

if you don t copy you ll get nowhere... you have to do that until you ll get your own style, although i don t think that calexico copy arthur lee or need to imitate the style of anyone or anything they became what they should be! it s a good cover nevertheless and don t forget that many many people didn t know the song and heard it first time from calexico...

Alone again is an anthem

Noone said copying was wrong. The line about copying had to do with the fact that Picasso was a genius as was Arthur Lee. To copy a masterpiece is not easy so you have to do it in your own style. My point was that the vocals were average, plain, so so etc. Instrumentally , the band is quit good. Get the early Love albums and see for yourself.

that s apparently his style it s not that he tried to copy lee and didn t make it and the song was just a bad copy i hope you agree with me on this!!!! well yes the vocals could have been better but i think that s all that he can do :) anyway i m just not that into lee s voice or performance of the song so i prefer calexico that s my taste and there s no point saying it s bad good or anything
-subjective judgement hahaha :)

i know, let him off though he is a foriegner.
