The book arrived today via Amazon's Prime service.
Looks very well done and I'll go thru it all, soon.
If not a problem, I'd get in touch with you via your site.

Very nice versions! Covers of 'Luxury' are rare... I ended up including a rough run-through by the Hammersmith Gorillas that wasn't released until decades later (great vocal though):

Thanks for your generous response! Good luck with the project!
I included artists and genres from around the world, but I must confess that I pretty much avoided covers that are not in English. Besides, the arrangement is similar to Chris Farlowe's version (which IS in the book!).

Wow, thanks for posting that! I am a big fan of Frank Black & the Catholics (I like the Pixies too, but I think his solo work is much more interesting) and I didn't know this one. Very cool.
yeah it is pretty good

She's in the book.
Thank you! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Was this actually released (vinyl, CD, download, streaming, etc)? I didn't include covers that were solely performed online or in concert.
Additionally, I don't find it that great... so it would never have made the book, even if it was properly released.

I really like that interview I got with NMA's Justin Sullivan.
Talk about your favorite band.

A cover version of "Paint It Black" shouldn't go unmentioned in my opinion.
"Rot Und Schwarz" by Czech pop singer/crooner Karel Gott (1939-2019), called "The Golden Voice from Prague", who was also famous in Germany and Austria.
A rather idiosyncratic interpretation in German.

For anyone interested, I did a UK radio interview about the book yesterday (you won't learn anything new about the Stones, but it's quite good fun!)...

I very nearly included that one (if ever I do a similar book on The Beatles, I must include her great cover of 'The Ballad of John & Yoko'!).

Yes, impressive list!
What about the Slovenian band Laibach's versions of "Sympathy for the Devil"?
Haha! Problem with the 'warhorses' of course is that there are so many different versions to choose from.
I like it when artists cover a relatively obscure song, and then very much make it their own. For example, I'd never choose Frank Black & The Catholics' DOWN IN THE HOLE over the Stones, but kudos to him for covering the song in such a unique style:

I just contacted Norton records, suggesting that they issue a CD. Some of these certainly deserve to be more widely heard! Here's Bloodshot Bill's version of 'High and Dry':

Honoured to be included in Richie Unterberger's 'Top Thirty or so Music History Books of 2022' list (I'm surprised the official Charlie Watts biography didn't make it though):

She (or her management) didn't respond to my request for an interview, but I did include her cover of 'Moonlight Mile'.
