That’s just enough to make him a cult figure in the soul music world. Roy Redmond recorded two 45s for the Loma label, and that’s about all that anyone seems to know about him. Roy Redmond – Good Day Sunshine (The Beatles cover) The eponymous first opened with a version of “She Said She Said” that lasted eight and a half minutes and was less a cover than a reconstruction. Whether or not that was the case, they did release two albums that went top-50 in the UK charts. Lone Star has been called “the band that punk killed,” due to being a heavy rock band that got its start around the same time the Sex Pistols got theirs, leading to near-instant obsolescence. Lone Star – She Said She Said (The Beatles cover) Chris Eckman takes “Yellow Submarine” down a path that’s less of a novelty and more of a melancholy wonder. Thanks once again to MOJO for supplying a Revolver cover this comes from their Revolver Reloaded CD. Chris Eckman – Yellow Submarine (The Beatles cover) They were fantastic.” He may have had to settle for being in Pink Floyd, but he scratched his Beatle itch with this lovely cover of “Here, There and Everywhere,” recorded with his son Joe and given away on a MOJO CD. The bass parts, the lead, the rhythm, everything. “I really wish I had been in The Beatles,” David Gilmour told MOJO Magazine, explaining that the band “taught me how to play guitar, I learnt everything. David Gilmour – Here, There and Everywhere (The Beatles cover) They were a warmer band, very much into the hypnotic drone sound of “Love You To,” making George’s song a perfect one for them to cover. The band came to be seen as a Feelies offshoot, but it was already a distinctive entity before Mercer and Million arrived and would remain so long after they left. The Feelies were between albums when its leaders, Glenn Mercer and Bill Million, joined the Trypes. The Trypes – Love You To (The Beatles cover) Produced by Sly & Robbie, the cover works better than most of the record’s originals, giving John’s psychedelic laziness an added little hop. Suggs, of Madness fame, brings his once and future band’s light ‘n’ playful ska sound to “I’m Only Sleeping,” the opening track on his 1995 solo debut The Lone Ranger. Suggs – I’m Only Sleeping (The Beatles cover) One of my most exciting finds in my five years of writing for Cover Me. Then, in the last minute, once all the verses are finished – that’s where the track REALLY takes off. Well, here’s a sixth, a Sweden-only single by Ernie Garrett that lays down a soulful groove that cooks. We’ve talked about five good covers of “Eleanor Rigby” in the past. Ernie Garrett – Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles cover) One of those bands is the KVB, who change George’s “Taxman” from a driving opener to a trippy one. ![]() Last year saw the release of The Magical Mystery Psych-Out – A Tribute to the Beatles, featuring modern-day psych-rock bands applying their talents to the work of the Fab Four. Size up the following fourteen covers and see how well they did… The KVB – Taxman (The Beatles cover) They all recognize greatness, though, and they’re all willing to try on the Beatles’ glass slipper and see if it fits. Below you’ll find some artists with dozens of albums to their names, and some artists with only one or two singles to theirs. We’re never going to run out of artists covering the songs of Revolver. Half a century later, they’re still wondering. Let’s not forget producer George Martin and teenaged engineer Geoff Emerick, turning the studio into a laboratory to experiment in.Ĭombine all these talents at their most creative, innovative, and adventurous, and it’s no wonder Revolver left the rock and roll world frantic with wonder at how they could catch up to this landmark. Ringo’s contributions were nothing to sneeze at, either, with his work on “She Said She Said” frequently singled out as some of his best drumming. Revolver saw three of the Beatles on hot songwriting streaks: John exploring his LSD-infused mind Paul excelling at each genre he tried George growing by leaps and bounds. Pepper is their greatest album, and Abbey Road could be considered their most accomplished, but all things considered, nothing is better than Revolver. Fifty years ago today, the Beatles’ best album was released.
