Ha Ha Tonka - "In a Big Country" (Big Country Cover)

This is the great Missouri band Ha Ha Tonka and their spectacular cover of the classic 80's song "In a Big Country", originally performed by the band Big Country. This is an extremely simple photo slide show I put together in a few hours with various pictures of the band that I found off of various websites and fan pages with the song behind it. I figured you should have something to watch while you listen, considering this is youtube. If you want the song you can download it for free off the bands myspace page. These dudes are the real deal, so you should seriously check them out and tell all of your friends about them. Below are some links to where you can hear them or buy their records. I do not own this song or any of the photos taken, this is just a simple fan video. So whoever is in control of taking videos down, please don't be a douche.

I really like this too! It doesn't seem to available off their myspace anymore (?)...if it was free before, can someone point to where or how to obtain this mp3?

[dudemandingo11]

@comeade Ill email it to you if you would like

Actually, this is really great version, very laid back and thought out. I have checked out your myspace page, really quite impressed.

i love this!!!

this is the best cover version of this tune on the internet, probably because these guys approach it in their own style, rather than trying to do it like big country did which is more or less impossible...demonstrates how a really good song can come through in a very different interpretation...also, these guys are very good musicians, which always helps a bit

I'm really surprised and delighted - what a gorgeous cover!

[roseartlefty]
