[The Wild Turkey]

...even cold November Rain.

 

[Les Tameside]

The original of that is an absolute belter. If Alain’s version is half as good, it’s an essential purchase for me.

 

[Dirk Blaggard]

Top tune
I wish him luck but it's a tough ask. Ian has one of the best UK voices ever- he's up there with M. Liam's "yeah , yeah , yeah " is on point as well. I can't imagine Alain, not a natural singer, is gonna get anywhere near that classic *

 

[Born In 1975]

Wasn’t this the tune that Johnny Marr co-wrote with Mac and then let them have it without credit to not detract from their reunion? Or was it I Want To Be There?

 

[Surface]

Good timing as it’s 25 years since Evergreen was released.

 

[Phranc & Open]

Evergreen might be their last great album. Great choice by Alain.

 

[Thewlis]

Evergreen might be their last great album. Great choice by Alain.

The follow-up is even better for me.
But great comeback-album and a classic single.
Difficult to do justice.

I Remember on a Saturday morning back in the day I would go to town and buy CD singles from the indie record shop. I still have this Bunnymen single, a great tune. I loved these times. "Before the weight of the world crushed my gentle spirit" - H Simpson.

 

[ACTON]

I saw the headline and for a second I thought Alain had left the Moz camp. Phew!

 

[Johnny]

That is my favourite EATB and one of the few songs I can play well on guitar.

Rust is still good. Yes. A bit overproduced and bombastic, maybe.

I'm not a follower of EATB, but is this the track, which he did through lockdown?

Thanks! Evergreen came out at the same time as Maladjusted and I love both records to this day. The song is made for Alain's voice and all the instrumentation on the original could have been (nearly) by Morrissey back then. Nostalgic, melancholy and backward looking. Beautiful stuff, trenchant choice for a cover.

It is the same song, but given the full studio treatment. It’s really quite special (*bias taken into account)!

 

[Discorobot]

In an interview once, Johnny Marr indicated that this was one of the songs he cowrote with Ian for their ill fated album (2 others were on the Electrafixtion record) despite him not being credited.

Nice artwork too @dneuer

 

[Sven68]

Nice artwork too @dneuer

Yes, obviously inspired by the original CD single.

Thank you...I appreciate the kind words.
And yes, @Sven68 totally inspired by the original. It just made sense being a cover version. An homage in every way.
