This is pretty awesome. I've not really said much about Pete Lloyd on here, but he's definitely one of my biggest musical inspirations. Not in a straightforward "I want to write songs exactly like he does" kind of way, but more like the simple fact that Pete is a guy who has followed songwriting to the ends of the world. He hasn't ever given up trying to express himself and, despite whatever else is going on, as long as I've known him he's been willing to sit down with another musician any time, any place and just play. And he's got a repertoire of songs that just stretches on for miles.
That's why I was sort of surprised to be included on his latest CD. It's called Cover Me, and I think it's a really interesting idea. Pete's gathered together some of the many different interpretations of the songs he's written and put them together on a single CD.
The song I did, "How Long is Your Love," was recorded before I knew that the project existed. I was just trying to see if I could do it, but it came out okay and I think it's a reasonable representation for the CD. Anyway, give a listen. And buy one if you like it. Pete's a really cool guy, and I'm sure you'll find his website a lot of fun to look around.

super good. i like jason's song too.
ReplyDeletei think you should cover simon and garfunkel's "you can call me al" because it would be awesome and funny.
ReplyDeleteBrother, that sounds like a great idea. Maybe a little backbeat and auto-tuning would make that song sound juuust right.

ReplyDeleteBen,
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm proud to be called an inspiration for such a fine performer and songwriter. Thanks for the link to the Cover Me site. I have two sales from your neck of the woods already.
