Why not just enjoy the music as it was intended to be enjoyed.
They have brought a beautiful song to a new generation.
The song is fantastic no matter who sings it.

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

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 :)

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.

Alone again is an anthem



First off, I'm an Arthur Lee and Love fanatic. Have been since their first album came out when I was a kid, and I'm sorry to break it to you, but Arthur didn't write this, fellow Love original, the late Bryan MacLean wrote it. Lee ended up singing it on Forever Changes, but it's Bryan's song. I have a most enjoyable solo acoustic recording of him singing it.

I have frequently remembered the "The Black Light" album by Calexico in 10 long years and I guess it will frequently pop in to my head at least 10 more. I will especially remember the song "Missing" as one of the most soulful and breathtaking songs I ever heard.
