Loving Meshells cover of "Water"... Login/Join

i know i'm wayyy late, but saw this in the discography area and since i couldnt swing getting the entire cd, i bought the one "Water" song from iTunes (gotta love the convenience of iTunes Smile...so i finally got to hear Meshells really cool cover of that track. What a popping groove. I LOVE the way she covers songs...she doesn't just essentially 'copy' the original song and just redo lead vocals like so many cover-ers do...instead she takes chances and puts her own stamp on the tracks, really re interprets them. she keeps the essence of what was great about a song, but re-crafts it and expresses it using her own unique perspective and approach...i love that.

this one sounds like it possibly coulda been recorded back around the time of her "Compared To What?" cover from the 'Talk To Me' Movie...

gonna try to find out some more info on the "Water" track like who was playing what...(thats the one not-so-good thing about itunes..no liner notes that let you know details of the recording sessions & musicians etc...looks like i may have to actually go to the store and get look up the cd after all Wink

Another good way to do that is to bring a camera to a used cd store and photograph the credits. I mean, if we already supported her, why not Wink I need to do that with all of the recent stuff that has no info on it. The only time I pretty much buy actual CDs anymore is when I go to shows. iTunes is just way too convenient.
