Got it Covered: Take me to the River

 


Original video located here. Accessed 13th February 2012


Song title: Take Me to the River

Artist: Talking Heads

Originally Done By: Al Green

Year: 1978

Why I like this song:

Proof that a cover can completely transform a song, here we have a song about one's religious convictions morphed into lounging around on a deck chair on a beach somewhere. In fact, it; so laid back in it's vibe, that said deck chair could drift out to sea and you wouldn't care.
