Wax Pick: The Bird And The Bee – Interpreting The Masters Volume 1: A Tribute To Daryl Hall And John Oates

Sorry it’s been a while, I’ve been pretty tied up in other projects. I’ll make it up to you with a few awesome picks over the next few days, all of which have been sitting in the archive for the better part of a few months.

First up, Greg and Inara are back at it with a pinch of help from Shirley Manson (Garbage). Unique covers always seem to reveal the depth of talent within a musician. How do you make something creative, while having to adhere to certain constrains within lyric and melody. The best artists find that line of changing a song without forgoing its intent. Greg’s one of the best.

This album features 8 Hall and Oates covers, and one original song, “Heard It on the Radio.” If you’ve seen The Bird and the Bee live anytime within the past year or two, you may have caught a sneak peek before the album was out. One little audio nugget, and you’ll be singing, “I CAN go for that!”

You also gotta appreciate the image parody of the album cover:
