description:
A simple enough premise this time. Cover versions by an odd hotch-potch of artists of well known 60's and 70's songs. Let the warped nostalgia begin! All but two of these tracks come from "tribute" albums, hated by many, but for some reason, lapped up by me!

Track 13 from Goth Oddity: A Tribute To David Bowie
Length: 00:05:00 Year: 1999 |

Track Description:
Quite a long time ago, I became addicted to tribute albums, and quite a lot of the tracks on this mix come from this source. I found this one on a goth tribute to Bowie CD. Christian Death always scared me a little. There was a time in London where just about every available bit of wall space was covered with fly posters for CD. This is nasty but good. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Now here is a nice twist. This featured on an album of covers by blues artists of Rolling Stones originals. Considering how much the Stones borrowed from the chicago blues form in their early days, this only seems fair somehow. Luther Allison was great live! SHOW LESS
