With no backstory, Waterflow's version of Counting Crows' 1993 ballad "Anna Begins" is pretty decent. Maybe not the best cover that I've heard, but certainly not the worst.
I was lucky enough to stumble across their bio, and it shines a whole new, and wholly incredible, light on this cover.
Waterflow is a compound band name. Like when members of L.A. Guns hooked up with Hollywood Rose to form Guns N' Roses.
But, unlike a six mile jaunt along Route 101 South, Waterflow's members came from Slovakian band Flowline, and Dutch band Waterfly.
So, instead of a six mile drive for band practice, these musicians were separated by 1234 kilometers (about 760 miles) and lots of passport stamping.
Not surprisingly, the band has split and are working on their own individual projects.
But, for a brief moment in 2008, united by a love of bluegrass and "August and Everything After," national borders and language barriers were torn away to give you this track from the album "Perfect Match for Trouble."
