"Dixieland Delight" by Old Crow Medicine Show

 


Fort Payne, Alabama bluegrass group Alabama had their 1983 country rock song "Dixieland Delight" covered by Harrisonburg, Virginia alternative Americana band Old Crow Medicine Show.

Both versions are catchy, if you can get past the lyrics that are total ass.

A little turtle dovin' on a Mason-Dixon night?  Straight up ball sweat.

For an Old Crow Medicine Show cover, the Ashley Caranci and Chris version of "Wagon Wheel" can be found here.

"Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" by Urge Overkill



 Of all the cover songs that Mrs. Mia Wallace has danced around to while overdosing on heroin, Chicago, Illinois band Urge Overkill's toy piano-laden version of New York City songwriter Neil Diamond's 1967 single "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" is by far my favorite.

Speaking of girls becoming women soon, now seems as good a time as any to gently remind everyone that nearly a million dollars have been spent thus far for FBI agents to work late nights and overtime in redacting the Epstein Files.

Gee, I wonder which name required a cumulative 4,700 + hours to scrub from those reports?

Release the files in full and without redactions, you cowardly fascist scumbuckets.

For more Diamond covers, the Wychwood version of "Cracklin' Rosie" can be found here, and the UB40 version of "Holly Holy" can be found here.

For a cover by Neil Diamond, his version of "Monday, Monday" can be found here.
