Cousin Kevin - The Who Cover

Here's my first attempt at Cousin Kevin (and first posting to youtube ever). I have a nasty cold that wont go away....forgive the crappy voice.

Your playing style reminds me of the accompaniment for a villainous rogue tying a distressed damsel to the railroad tracks ... maybe you could don a moustache and give it a diabolical twist at songs end?? Alternately, I'm reminded of the old player piano in the corner of a Shakey's Pizza Parlour from many moons ago. You'd really need a cheezoid tophat and stripped outfit for that ensemble though. Kudos for a unique take on a great tune.

@vampyros1

I have a cheezoid tophat, fake moustache, and a six shooter. The song lyrics are quite brutal. I remember crying in the movie theatre during the Cousin Kevin scene when I first saw Tommy in the 70's. Perhaps that's why I play it the way I do, like it's a joke.

adore the snarl at the end too

top class

[DannysHolidayCamp]

Thanks for the praise. The snarl was more a disapproval for my performance rather than me being in Cousin Kevin's character. I suppose I should practice these songs more before recording them. Since you're the most prolific coverer of Who songs I'm going to see if i can follow in your footsteps. I think I'll also give a stab at doing a Who song never covered on Youtube....stay tuned and keep up the great work

Fun!

nicely done, really love it - the only thing I'd probably played and sang it in slightly lower tonation, just to make it a tad darker - still you're the Man!

[boondawgle]

Love this song - nice job

DannysHolidayCamp If you get it better than this then expect a call from Pete Townsends manager, looking forward to anything you do my friend
