Seattle, Washington area party band The Nines cover "Car Wash," a 1976 funk disco single from Los Angeles, California group Rose Royce.

"Closer to Free" by Blue Onyx

 


Chicago, Illinois '90s throwbacks Blue Onyx cover "Closer to Free," a 1993 single from Waukesha, Wisconsin heartland rockers BoDeans.

And, like a weird Pavlovian response, hearing this cover made me... for the first time in 30 years.... think of Neve Campbell.

I hope she's doing well.
