re: #125 William Lewis

I never thought I’d hear an upbeat version of Jackson Browne’s “The Pretender”. It was a song that, for me, explicated the ills of the mid-70’s shit hole that America had become. Yet they find something different in it. Not sure it’s more or less right but it _IS_ and that’s no little thing.

Doesn’t do it for me. Browne’s original is so iconic, and being a fav of mine for so many years, I just can’t listen to a cover and not hear him. The song just doesn’t need a rework.
