In an interview I heard a few years ago, John Prine said that when he does one of his rare live performances, he almost never sings any song he's written for Bonnie Raitt. Why? Because he knows he's a great songwriter, but a 3rd rate performer. There's no point in phuquing up a song that's been done beautifully by someone else There's a lot of truth in that. I only need to point at Kinky Friedman as a perfect example. "Pearls in The Snow" is a collection of Friedman songs performed by various artists and two cuts off that album, "Nashville Casualty and Life" done by Lee Roy Parnel and "Rapid City, South Dakota" sung by Dwight Yoakam are outstanding examples of why song writers shouldn't do their own songs. Have you ever seen this guy, or heard his music? http://www.theonion.com/content/node/30345 Didn't he play with Mississippi Blind Boy Pigsfeet Dupre? Yes, I believe so. |
