My radio channel of choice is Radio 1. Yes it is crap and commercial sometimes but every so often they come up with the goods and one of the regular segments that fulfils this criteria is Live Lounge, where artists and bands come in and perform one of their own tracks and also perform a cover.
Some bands choose quite obvious covers, but others come in and blow you away, and on Monday The Fray did this when they performed a Kanye West cover ‘Heartless’ (see original here). I’m unable to embed the iplayer video but click here to go the BBC site and see them in action or download the mp3 from here.
Or listen live here: [audio:http://www.ademweb.co.uk/audio/thefrayheartlesscover.mp3]
If you like that kind of stuff then you should check out the CDs which are available.
