Now, what on earth might this sound like?
"... ending with a lovely, minimalist cover of Procol Harum's 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' (played on a fretless paper banjo)"
Read all about singer-songwriter Dan Reeder's "Sweetheart" CD in "German singer finds Sweetheart of a deal in Nashville".
Did anyone hear it?
Posted by jonas at December 9, 2006 01:17 AMI bought this from amazon. The "paper banjo" sounds like a very primitive acoustic guitar.
Since this version was advertised as minimalist, I wondered if it would be the only cover I'd ever heard without MF's solo, but NO - Reeder played the solo, almost verbatim, omitting a few 16th notes, four times, on a harmonica (!), overdubbing his humming along on some of it.
A belated Happy New Year to you and thanks for your beautiful banners and wonderful posts.
Best
