Buffalo Springfield covers

[jakartajive]

Sie Flytipper's recent excellent mix for Active Listener reminded me how great Colin Bluntstone / Neil McAtrhur's version of Hung Upside Down was.

Mike Hurst does a great version to, which isn't on YouTube yet.
May stick it up later.

This got me thinking about how widely covered Buffalo Springfield have been.
There's obviously For What It's Worth, which must have tons of versions, though a recent Russian find is one of the most unusual I've encountered:

I've always been a sucker for the Carpenters' proto yacht rock take of Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing:

Percy Sledge's version of Kind Woman slays me every single time . .

and Friar Tuck & The Monks stonking version of Mr. Soul strips the song down to primal roots:

What are your faves?

Here's the Mike Hurst version I mentioned above.

I am not all that famalier with the buffalo springfield songbook, but some great tracks above. Here are a couple of my fav for what it's worth tracks, probably obvious, but hey there you are

[Col Wolfe]

Love this version of Rock'n'Roll Woman

[Sie-Fly]

Kenny Burrell does a cool version of Everydays

Bought this when it came out, and this thread reminded me to fetch it out and give it a spin.

I prefer this version personally . . .

[Campag Record]

And another Mr Soul - Houston Fearless

Glen Yarbrough Everybody's Wrong

Can't forget UK proggers Yes doing Everydays (drags on longer than it needs to but hey, its self indulgent prog)

There's obviously countless versions of For What It's Worth but I think The Staple Singers do it best.

Got this LP yesterday . . .



. . . and it opens with a mad funky rock take of For What It's Worth . . .

I was going to mention the People LP when I did my previous post. Check out the Fresh Air (Amaret label) LP for an equally quick tempo funky rock version of For What It's Worth

Yeah, forgot that one.
Maybe better than the PEOPLE version, actually.
I've got the 45 but not the LP.

I'm a big fan of the LP, as is Mr Sayers. Definitely worth investigation Hugh.
