Cat Power - Ramblin' Man

I love covers. So I've started this group for song covers. The group default picture is Morrissey as Terence Stamp, which I thought was a clever cover.

I've recently added a few cover songs to the cover collection, including this one by Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, doing a Hank Williams' tune, "Ramblin' Man". I'm also including the video of Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan's version.

The Cat Power song is an exclusive song from eMusic. You should definitely check it out - they are offering 25 free MP3s for new members.

You can use the link above, or you can send me your email address and your name (probably full name?) and I will get 50 MP3s for referral. I don't really care about getting the referrals, but it would be kind of nice to get free stuff.

I believe the lowest subscription is $10 a month for 30 songs. This is not a bad deal, considering a normal 10-track CD retails for $17+ :/

Anyroad, you can get a lot of music from bands we've covered here (including TMBG, Camera Obscura, and the Decemberists). If you like more popular musicians, eMusic is probably not for you. Just remember that the money you spend on eMusic goes back to the artists, unlike that illegal allofmp3.

The only thing I don't like about eMusic is that there are no artwork assigned to the music file. But the good thing is that there are no DRM and you keep your music (not rent). You spend $10 on dinner at a restraunt, $10 for 30 songs is a good deal, trust me.

PS, on the subject of covers, Randy pointed out that TMBG - New York City was a cover of Cub. I never knew that! And the original is REALLY GOOD!
