One of my favorite series here @ Root Down in the Shadow by McGurkMusic is the Cover Song of the Week
When a band can take a killer original and re-capture it in their own style, it is true magic. Michael Jackson songs are a good target as they are so catchy, but they can be difficult to do. Chris Cornell years back pulled off a great cover of 'Billie Jean' and I had considered the song maxed out. However, the Civil Wars, breathed new life into this now 30 year old song with style and passion that only they could.
This song has been covered by the Civil Wars in the past, but this most recent occurrence is just fabulous!
the Civil Wars covering 'Billie Jean' by Michael Jackson on Later with Jools Holland
The Civil Wars recently had been opening for Adele abroad, and are back touring the United States. Be sure to get tickets now , as shows are selling out quickly!
