Simple Kid - another Cork langer releases a rekkid. (1 Viewer)

first I heard of it! he did play a nifty cover of it at his lobby show before xmas but I'd be amazed if he did a cover of it for actual record release (unless it's a b-side or something).

An a-side would be bizarre, can't see any logic to it at all if it's true - the only possible explanation would be if it was being used in a movie or summink like that.

HerThat's such a bizarre thing to do ... take a brilliant song that already has had one definitive cover version made of it (the Cash one) that everyone knows and is basically the *last word* on the subject and go and re-record it ??!!

sounds like a crap idea
from pitchforkmedia.com:
==================

According to Nashville alternative weekly The Scene, Will Oldham is all but through (re)-recording the upcoming Palace greatest-hits record. For those just waking beneath trees with long white beards, Will Oldham is the Louisville, KY based creative force behind all things Palace and currently works under the name Bonnie "Prince" Billy. Last fall, Oldham's Palace Records homepage ran an online poll to drum up input for the record's tracklist. Soon afterward we learned that Oldham would be recording new versions of the chosen favorites in Nashville with producer Mark Nevers. Nevers, who has worked with everyone from Vic Chestnutt and the Silver Jews to Hank "Are You Ready for Some Football" Williams, Jr. and Alan Jackson, helped out on this year's Bonnie "Prince" Billy record Master and Everyone and is a longtime associate of Lambchop.


Nevers says Oldham enjoyed the bounty of talented session players on call in the country music capital, mostly using the same studio crew that generally works with Alan Jackson (!). Oldham took a particular liking to the playing of pianist Hargus "Pig" Robbins, whose influence comes through clearly on the new version of "Gulf Shores."

Drag City is pushing for a fall release, but with Oldham returning to Nashville in September for vocal overdubbing and again in October for final mixing, it's optimistic to think we'll see a finished product by next spring. A complete tracklist is not yet available, but the following songs are reported to have been recorded (in no particular order):

The Brute Choir
Gulf Shores
I Am a Cinematographer
I Send My Love to You
Ohio River Boat Song
Riding
You Will Miss Me When I Burn

:eek:
